Demonstration calls on EU to stop Israeli crimes in Palestine
Arab and European human rights and peace activists held a demonstration in front of the European Union headquarters in Brussels Tuesday afternoon condemning the Israeli atrocities against Palestinians."Lift the siege in Gaza. No to Israeli terror," shouted the protestors. Amin Abu Ibrahim, Secretary-General of the Palestinian Platform for Human Rights and Solidarity which is based in Holland told KUNA that "we are calling on the EU to lift the siege on Gaza". Ibrahim said they also met the foreign relations committee of the European Parliament to press their demands. The protestors who numbered in the hundreds had come from several EU states to take part in the demonstration. "The EU has a duty to stop the crimes in Palestine," read one placard held by the protestors. "Starving civilians is a crime," read another. Posted by: Seafarious 2008-03-05 |
