A prominent activist in the Negev village of al-Araqib said Tuesday that he would rather stay in prison than be displaced from his village.

Sayah al-Touri was arrested on Monday with three other activists from the Bedouin village, which has been repeatedly demolished by Israeli forces.

"Prison is better for me than being deported away from al-Araqib," he said via his lawyer.

Several of the villagers detained by Israel were told by police that they would be released on condition that they didn't go back to al-Araqib.
