Beginning next week, a Jerusalem Civil Court will convene regarding the case of Tristan Anderson: an International Solidarity Activist from Oakland, California, wounded in March 2009 when he was shot in the head by Israeli Border Police in Ni’lin, Palestine.
Tristan was shot with an experimental weapon—a High Velocity Tear Gas Grenade—designed to travel 300 meters and hit with enough force to break through barricades. Tristan was shot directly in the head from about 50 meters. He survived the attack on his life, but has been left paralyzed on one side of his body and with significant damage to his brain."
