PA Jails Palestinian over Transfer of Property to Israelis
(Financial Times-UK) - A Palestinian has been jailed in Bethlehem by the Palestinian Authority over his alleged role as a middleman in the transfer of property in the town to Jewish ownership. The property in question, a row of dilapidated lock-up shops in a virtual no-man's land that abuts the Jewish shrine of Rachel's Tomb, has little intrinsic value. However, Nikola Arja may be charged with being "in touch with the enemy for illegal purposes" and "partition of property for annexation to a foreign country."
