Weekly demonstrations in the villages of Bil'in and Ni'ilin were held in solidarity with the prisoners and continued resistance to the Wall and settlements.
Demonstrators returned to Shuquba this Friday after last week's demonstration which saw an Israeli private security guard fire live bullets and unarmed demonstrators.
Thirty protesters including a handful of Israeli supporters march in Ni’ilin demanding an end to occupation and the continued confiscation of Ni’ilin’s land to the Separation Wall and the occupation. Army responded by firing tear gas canisters directly at demonstrators.
The ordeal of a 21-year-old Palestinian - and of the people his testimony incriminated - reveals the lengths Israeli authorities will go to, to fabricate evidence against those who demonstrate weekly against the security fence.
