Hamdan Ballal, one of the Palestinian co-directors of Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, has been freed after being detained and beaten, according to the documentary’s Israeli co-director Yuval Abraham.
According to Abraham, Ballal was yesterday attacked by a mob of Israeli settlers close to his West Bank village on Monday and then arrested by soldiers. The move sparked outcry among many in the international and U.S. film community.
