British self-proclaimed supporter of "Palestinian human rights, liberation and justice" Gary Spedding has been detained at Ben-Gurion Airport, where he tried to enter Israel, five years after being turned away due to what the Israeli embassy in London called his involvement in organizing a violent protest in Queens University, Belfast, in which an Israeli representative was attacked.
Writing on Twitter, Spedding said he intended to visit at the invitation of "civil society organisations and had planned to meet members of Knesset", following the end of a five-year ban, and followed all correct procedures. He said he intends to fight efforts to deport him again.
