Villagers from Beit Tsurik will protest

Media Advisory

31.05.05

Tomorrow morning villagers from Beit Tsurik will be joined by Israeli and International activists to protest the construction of the Annexation wall on their land. At 8-00 AM they will gather on the land where the construction is planned to take place. The residents of Beit Surik have appealed to the Israeli Supreme Court that has yet to give a ruling on the case.

Construction of the wall in this area will result in the annexation of almost 1000 dunams of land belonging to Beit Surik.

At previous demonstrations a number of villagers were arrested, including the Mayor of Beit Surik, who was held for nearly a month.
