Non-violent protests in Occupied Palestine
Non-violent protests in Occupied Palestine demand release of prisoners and destruction of the Wall
While the mainstream media focused this week on a young Palestinian who blew up himself and eight others, the violent Israeli occupation of Palestinian land continued, and Palestinians throughout the West Bank and Gaza organized non-violent protests to challenge this 39-year illegal occupation of their land, and to demand the release of the over 9,000 Palestinian prisoners being held by Israel, many of them without trial. In Bil'in, in the West Bank, Palestinians, Israelis and international supporters gathered for a protest Friday, April 21, at one of the many sites where the Israeli army is constructing the Annexation Wall through Palestinian land. The protest followed the Israeli High Court's decision to allow the Wall to be completed around Jerusalem, thus isolating nearly 250,000 Palestinians into 'ghettoes'.
