Three activists are held in custody and their identities have been under
a sweeping Israeli gag order until today (Jan 21st, 2016). The three
were arrested following a "sting operation" by Ad-Kan, a right-wing
group that accused them of collaborating with the Palestinian Security
Services against a Palestinian man who allegedly tried to sell
Palestinian land in the West Bank to Israeli settlers.

Those who
are detained have described the police using torture against them, as
well as colluding with the settler organization Ad-Kan which is linked
to the Samaria Settler Council.
