Vigil for Jawaher Abu Rahmah

Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign | 29.01.2011 19:22

5.00 – 6.00pm on the Centre (opposite Hippodrome) Bristol
A call for women all over the world to unite behind the popular resistance and the determination of Palestinian women in defence of their land, rights and dignity

Jawaher (34 years) was out in the fields on Friday, December 31 participating in the protest against the Apartheid Wall that strangles her village Bil’in in the West Bank, stealing its lands and livelihood. She had seen her brother killed in a similar protest almost two years ago when Israeli military shot him with a tear gas grenade in the chest, but this only intensified her dedication to her work with the youth that can carry on the resistance. It didn’t deter her from joining the protests. When the tear gas clouds reached her that day, she fell sick and died from the effects of the gas.
