<div id="divLead">Zionist regime authorities have arrested 12 Britons on their way to visit Beit-ul-Lahm in the occupied West Bank, according to campaigners.</div>
<p>The Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which was coordinating the British arm of the visit, said its chairman Mick Napier, 64, a university teacher, was amongst four Scots arrested at Israel&#8217;s Ben Gurion Airport.</p>
<p>The flight also included five English and three Welsh people.<br />
The campaign said the specific charges against them is still unclear.</p>
<p>&#8220;I spoke to consular staff this morning who told me that the arrest was quite rough. They were all handcuffed and shackled and put into vans after standing around for quite a long time, and you can see from their ages that a lot of them are retired.<br />
Otherwise they`re all fine&#8221;, said Sofiah Macleod, the UK-based contact for the campaign.</p>
<p>She said that travel to the West Bank is theoretically open to British passport holders, unlike Gaza, which is currently under Israeli blockade.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have received reports of a number of British nationals being detained at the airport in Tel Aviv. We have a consular team at the airport who are seeking access to them to ensure that we can provide the appropriate assistance&#8221;, said a Foreign Office spokesman.</p>
