A geography professor who holds both American and Canadian citizenship has been jailed in Israel on charges that he was spying for Hizbullah for the past 19 days. The gag order imposed on the case was lifted on Wednesday as the result of a petition by an Israeli newspaper that argued the case was being widely reported outside of Israel. Prof. Ghazi Falah of the University of Akron was in Israel to visit his sick mother. He was detained at the Israel-Lebanon border where he was taking photographs in a security zone, say the Israelis. But Ghazi’s lawyer, whom he was allowed to see only after the gag order was lifted, says Falah planned to use the photos as part of a paper he is preparing for presentation at a geography conference in Beirut in October. He is the founder and publisher of the Arab World Geographer. Ghazi is considered to be an expert on the issue of Mideast border disputes.
