ISRAELI forces were condemned today after they shut down the offices of six Palestinian civil society organisations in the West Bank.

Amnesty International has called on Israeli authorities to stop harassing such organisations.
 
Israeli armed forces conducted dawn raids on the Ramallah offices of Addameer, Defence for Children International — Palestine (DCIP), al-Haq, the Union of Palestinian Women Committees, the Bisan Centre for Research and Development and the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, Amnesty said.

Soldiers confiscated files and equipment, issued military orders to close down and welded office doors shut.
