Two injured in Bi値in weekly protest
Latest News, Palestinian Grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign, September 12th, 2009
The weekly demonstration went as normal this week in Bil段n, with Occupation forces firing on unarmed demonstrators as they approached their isolated lands. Two were injured and dozens more affected by tear gas during the action.
Following Friday prayers, protestors marched through the streets, shouting slogans condemning the night raids and arrests, calling for the release of the prisoners.
Reaching the Wall, they attempted to enter the gate but were forced back by gas and sound bombs as well as the foul smelling chemical spray.
The people of Bil段n have called for continued street protest as well international pressure boycott in response to Occupation practices, in particular the ongoing expansion of settlements.
