[edit] Merge suggestion

This article is about the same organization as described in Abna al-Balad. There seems to be no consensus on how the name is written in English. I've updated the other article, text should either be moved there or the other way around. -- Steve Hart 02:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Harassment is quite POV

Abnaa el-Balad members and their supporters allege that their arrests are harassment. The other side claims they were duly arrested and convicted for breaking the law. I imagine you would not be happy if the section heading read "Aiding Israel's enemies", so please don't intorduce the opposite POV into it, either. We can keep it factual - members were arrested. Readers can decide for themselves is this is harassment of a peaceful democratic opposition party, or conviction after due process of traitors. Mr. Hicks The III (talk) 04:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think harassment is POV, but if you do, I agree that it's not necessary in the heading. As I find more third-party non-partisan sources on the subject (if they can be found), I may revisit the subject to find a better phrasing that mere "Arrests of members". If you noticed, that section deals primarily with arrests, but not exclusively. Tiamut^talk 11:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
