Palestinian writer and lawyer Raja Shehadeh, founder of the pioneering human rights organisation Al-Haq, lives in Ramallah, where what most of us take for granted has to be carefully thought about and planned. When will the post be allowed to get through? Will there be enough water for the bath tonight? In Occupation Diaries, Shehadeh resumes the story of daily life in the West Bank taken up in his earlier books, When the Bulbul Stopped Singing and Palestinian Walks (for which he won the 2008 Orwell Prize).
