Bil'in 24 4 09 - One week after the murder of Bassem Abu Rahmah, demonstration to build his memorial

Twenty five protesters were injured today following the end of the 4th Annual International Conference of Popular Resistance in Bilin. Injuries ranged from light to moderate and most were caused by rubber coated steel bullets.
The Bilin conference this week was attended by a large number of international, Israeli and Palestinian activists. Also at the conference were Luisa Morgantini, vice president of the EU Parliament; Mairead Maguire, a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate; Mustafa Al Barghouti, head of the Palestinian Initiative; Khalidah Jarrar, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council. The demonstrators began their marched after closing the conference. They carried pictures of the martyr Bassem Ab Rahmah and succeeded in building a memorial for Bassem Abu Rahmah near the gate, despite a constant barrage of tear gas and rubber bullets fired by the Israeli army.

Luisa Morgantini stated, We succeeded to build the memorial for Bassem Abu Rahmah, as respect for his spirit. We will never forget him; he was a friend of everyone. We have to continue the popular resistance which has begun to expand to the Jordan valley, Al Maasarah, Nilin, and Jayyous.

Mairead Maguire said We came to Bilin more than five times and we went to Gaza also, we are going to continue our struggle to end the occupation and the siege. What happened in Bilin and losing Bassem is a tragedy to everyone. Lets all work together for peace and end the oppression and occupation. Maguire and Morgantini expressed their condolences to Bassems family.

Did those soldiers say violent demonstration?

Are they kidding?

The only violence I can see here comes from the IDF soldiers. The only illegal act I can see here is the Israeli injustice.
