A PEACE campaigner from Malvern is being deported from the Middle East.
Alice Coy has been in the occupied Palestinian territories since the beginning of the year, after joining the International Solidarity Movement.
The former Malvern Girls' College pupil was detained at a checkpoint trying to re-enter Gaza and the Israeli authorities have since kept her in various detention centres.
Region
The 27-year-old computer programmer has refused to leave the region despite witnessing the deaths of two fellow activists.
Last month, Briton Tom Hurndall, aged 21, was shot in the head as he tried to help children take cover after the Israeli army opened fire in the Gaza Strip.
In March, US activist Rachel Corrie, 23, was crushed to death in Rafah by an Israeli army bulldozer.
Ms Coy is expected to arrive at Heathrow Airport this afternoon.
