70-year-old Irish woman detained in Israel as son urges authorities to ‘send her home’

LONDON: The son of a 70-year-old Irish woman detained by Israeli authorities has issued a plea for her release, citing urgent concerns over her health and wellbeing, The Independent newspaper reported on Friday. Deirdre Murphy, an Irish activist originally from Cork and now based in Swansea, was arrested last week in the West Bank village of Khalet Al-Daba’a, which was recently demolished by Israeli bulldozers. She remains in custody at the Givon Prison in Ramla after choosing to challenge a deportation order issued against her, The Independent added.
