Amnesty Interntaional visits Jayous, West Bank

Amnesty Interntaional visits Jayous, West Bank:

Amnesty International Visits Israel's Apartheid, Annexation Wall in Jayous.
Jayyous is a village of about 3,000 Palestinian residents situated near the town of Qalqilya in the West Bank, Palestine. Israel Built its wall ( An electronic fence in this case) between the village and its rich farm land and water resources and beyond the "Armistice Green Line" of 1949.
Following the construction of the wall, the villagers access to their farmland has been controlled by the Israeli Army via a gate, which is open (only for farmers who hold a permit from the Israeli authorities) for a short time a day. That is, if the Israeli soldiers feel like opening the gate.
