Bil'in belaagd door Israelische soldaten
Carla - 02.09.2005 13:54
Op dit moment (mailtje van vanmorgen) wordt het dorp Bil'in, bekend van geweldloze akties tegen de bouw van de muur, belaagd door Israelische soldaten. De situatie is behoorlijk gespannen.
Vlak voordat de dorpelingen hun wekelijkse geweldloze demonstratie konden beginnen, trokken soldaten het dorp binnen, vuurden traangasgranaten en rubberkogels af en probeerden de dorpelingen in hun huizen te houden.
Hierbij de tekst in het engels:
Right now "a siege on Bil'in (...) and the situation is ongoing. Before
the village could even begin its weekly nonviolent demonstration,
soldiers launched into the village, firing tear gas, rubber bullets and
attempting to impose a curfew on residents [for full text of the ISM

LANDS ARE TAKEN?
