Picket for Palestinian children

Wednesday, February 6, 2002 - 11:00

SYDNEY � People gathered on January 31 outside Israel's consulate to
protest against the brutal occupation of Palestine. Since the beginning
of the current intifada, 192 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli
troops and settlers, 6000 have been injured and more than 600 arrested.
Protesters held a silent vigil and distributed flyers to passers-by. Another
picket will take place on February 28. For more information, email the
Palestine Human Rights Campaign at <palestine@inbox.com.au>.
