Manchester Protests Against the West Bank Wall
Chris Edwards | 13.07.2003 20:06 | Anti-racism | Repression
A cardboard "West Bank Wall" was build in Manchester to graphically symbolise and illustrate what is happening in occupied Palestine.
On 12th July 2003, the Palestinian solidarity movement in Manchester, UK mounted a protest against the West Bank Wall which the Israeli's are building. The wall is an attempt to contain the Palestinian resistance.
To graphically illustrate the monstrous nature of this crime, a wall made from cardboard boxes was built outside Manchester Town Hall. The wall was decorated with posters, photographs and painted slogans.
A rally was held in front of the wall and finally the cardboard was demolished by the protestors to provide a visual representation of what needs to be done with the real West Bank Wall.
