Friday, June 15, 2012: In this photo, AFP captures a naked
African female migrant described as a prostitute in a series of raids by
Israel’s immigration police aimed at rounding up and deporting illegal
African immigrants. The scene was recorded on Tuesday near Levinsky
Park, in the Mediterranean city of Tel Aviv, where thousands of migrants
reside. The question urgently begging for an answer is why was the
woman not allowed to put on clothes before her arrest.

Israeli authorities on Monday [June 11] rounded up dozens of African
migrants slated for deportation, most of them from South Sudan, as the
government weighs tough penalties against Israelis who help illegal
aliens.
The Population and Migration Authority said in a statement that officers
arrested 45 migrants from South Sudan, along with three Nigerians, two
Ghanaians, two Chinese, one from Ivory Coast, one from the Philippines
and one whose nationality is being checked.
Israeli public radio said that in at least two cases, during
early-morning swoops in the Red Sea town of Eilat, women with young
children were picked up as they walked on the streets and were driven
away.
Journalist and rights activist Toni Lissi told army radio that suspects
in the town were picked up on the street, in banks, at their places of
work and in door-to-door searches.
"The people arrested were taken on buses to detention centres. Their mobile phones were confiscated," she said.
"Other immigrants are hiding in their homes, not daring to go out until things calm down,' she said.
