Hanna Uihlein

Hanna Uihlein is a UK-based volunteer who was recently in the news for her involvement in efforts to support Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest in the West Bank. Uihlein and her group of international volunteers were detained by Israeli authorities, who accused them of violating tourist visa conditions. After being held for several days, they were deported. Uihlein described the experience as dehumanizing and highlighted the strategic nature of their detention, which aimed to intimidate and deter solidarity efforts with Palestinian farmers amidst rising violence from Israeli settlers.
