 7th Annual "Open Shuhada Street" Campaign.
Visit our checkpoint in the centre of Hastings.
Saturday 20 February 12.00 - 14.00
For 21 years Shuhada Street has been almost entirely closed to Palestinians.
While illegal Israeli settlers move freely and carry arms, Palestinians face checkpoints, closed military zones, humiliation, severe restrictions on freedom of movement, arrests, vicious attacks and abuse by Israeli settlers
We're hoping for lots of help and support. Please join us. We also plan to build a wall that passers-by can write slogans on
7th Annual Open Shuhada St. Campaign. The Shame of Shuhada Street.

BBC silence on Palestinian journalist Mohammed Al-Qiq.
Mohammed is one of many Palestinian journalists imprisoned by Israel. He was put in administrative detention for six months: a system of endless and renewable imprisonment without charge or trial. He is in a critical condition after 86 days on hunger strike.
