Three civilians, including a child, injured as dozens suffer tear gas inhalation in weekly Bil'in demonstration by Iyad Burnat 22/10/2010 Bil'in - Ramallah: Three protesters were injured from tear gas inhalation today at the weekly Bil'in demonstration against the Apartheid wall. The march, called for by the Popular Committee Against the Wall in Bil'in, included dozens of Palestinian villagers, alongside Israeli and international solidarity activists. The participants in the march waved Palestinian flags, and held pictures of prisoners of the popular resistance, whilst chanting slogans condemning the Israeli policies of occupation, settlement and the repression of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. The demonstrators also chanted in condemnation of Israel's policy of ethnic cleansing Palestinians from Jerusalem, as can be seen in Silwan and Sheikh Jarrah, as well as calling for the siege on Gaza to be lifted. The Popular Committee Against the Wall in Bil'in also denounced the persecution of its activists, led by Abdullah Abo Rahma and Adeeb Abo Rahma. It considers the trials against them biased as they are defenders of their land which was illegally annexed by the Apartheid wall. The Popular Committee considers the struggle against the wall a legitimate and legal one and calls upon the international community and international human rights organizations to stand next to the leaders and activists of the Popular resistance. The march headed towards the wall, where the Israeli Occupation Forces were waiting. When protesters attempted to cross to the land behind the wall, which belongs to the villagers of Bi'lin, the Israeli army fired sound bombs, tear gas and rubber coated steel bullets at the crowd. This led to the wounding of three marchers, including 8-year old Lama Abdullah Abo Rahma who suffered from severe difficulty in breathing. Mohammed Shawkat Al-Khateeb,17, and Ahmed Abdel Fattah Bernat ,17, were among the worst affected of dozens of others suffering from tear gas inhalation. Before the march delegations from Spain, France and Britain met with the members of the Popular Committee Against the Wall and settlement at the headquarters of the International Solidarity Movement in Bil'in. The delegations listened to a detailed explanation by the Popular Committee about the experience in Bil'in of non-violent popular resistance in the past five and a half years and the role of international solidarity in the popular resistance in Bil'in.
