The Ad-Kan (Up to Here) organization says it has received more than 15,000 signatures on a petition to declare the B'Tselem Jewish Arab-rights group illegal because of its calls for action against Israel in international forums.

The petition cites section 121 of the penal code, which calls for prison time for such actions. The petition is available on the DROVE site, which requires that signers identify themselves through telephone numbers and email addresses.
