Open Shuhada Street in Hebron
Open Shuhada Street! February 25, 2010 International Day of Action from Open Shuhada Street on Vimeo.
This is a call to action for everyone who stands in solidarity with Palestinians fighting for their human rights. On February 25, 2010 activitsts around the world will participate in an international day of action to raise awareness about the issue of lack of freedom of movement in the Palestinian city of Hebron. The closure of Shuhada Street to Palestinians is just one prominent example of the policy of separation that affects the lives of Palestinians all across the occupied Palestinian territories.
