Rally this Friday : Solidarity with Bil’in
Demonstration for release of activist Mohammad Khatib »»»
— Friday August 7, 2009 - noon.
— Indigo Bookstore : corner of St. Catherine & McGill college (métro McGill)
A solidarity rally for Bil’in village has been called in Montreal to protest the recent arrest of Palestinian activist Mohammad Khatib and the ongoing nighttime raids on Bil’in being carried out by the Israeli military.
In June 2009 Mohammed Khatib traveled to Canada for the preliminary hearings in a historic lawsuit launched by Bil’in village against two Quebec-based companies, Green Park International and Green Mount International, both involved in constructing illegal Israeli-only settlements on the lands of the Palestinian village of Bil’in.
The weekly protests in Bil'in have gained worldwide renown for their non violent actions, with the participation of Israeli and international citizens.
