Irish woman faces deportation after arrest in West Bank

  • On June 1, Israeli officials detained 70-year-old Irish activist Máire ní Mhurchú in the area of Masafer Yatta, located in the southern part of the West Bank.
  • The detention followed orders from the Israeli military to leave a closed military zone in Masafer Yatta where residents face demolitions and displacement.
  • Ní Mhurchú, known as D Murphy, has volunteered with the International Solidarity Movement for 20 years to support Palestinian residents and refused to leave as ordered.
  • Her son Dale Ryan highlighted her dedication to human rights, noting that she was simply bearing witness to injustices faced by the Palestinian people and advocating for their basic freedoms.
  • Murphy remains detained at Ben Gurion Airport, contesting deportation while Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs provides consular support and monitors her health.
