OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation policemen on Monday evening kidnapped Huda Al-Imam the chairwoman of the Quds center for studies after assaulting her and breaking her arm.

Media sources in occupied Jerusalem told PIC reporter that confrontations took place between Jerusalemite citizens backed by foreign activists and the policemen after the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood organized a solidarity sit-in to protest the Israeli occupation authority's (IOA) judaization schemes in the holy city.

The sources said that the policemen took Al-Imam to an interrogation center where she was charged with participating in an illegal march, obstructing police work and attacking public property.

They underlined that tension was running high in occupied Jerusalem due to the IOA practices, which could harbinger further escalation within the few coming days.
