Beirut: Demonstration in front of Mubarak’s embassy to demand opening of Rafah crossing
I received the following message:
الحملة الشعبية للتضامن مع الشعب الفلسطيني
تحرك شعبي أمام أمام السفارة المصرية في بيروت (بئر حسن)
الأربعاء 23/1/2008: الساعة 3 بعد الظهر
لمطالبة السلطات المصرية بفتح معبر رفح، وعدم المشاركة في الحصار الإسرائيلي على قطاع غزة، وفي سياسة العقاب الجماعي لشعب اختار المقاومة في زمن الحصار
The popular campaign in solidarity with the Palestinian people invites you to a direct action on Wednesday 23rd of January at 3:00pm in front of the Egyptian embassy.
We demand that the Egyptian government opens the Rafah crossing, and to stop their participation in the Israeli siege of the Palestinian people in the Gaza strip.
In addition, we reject the Egyptian government’s involvement in the Israeli arbitrary collective punishment of a people who choose to resist occupation.
Demonstrate in Solidarity with Gaza
Demonstration is planned tomorrow Wednesday 23 January, 12 noon, in front of the Arab League, to call for lifiting the siege on Gaza and to denounce the Zionist massacres against unarmed civilians.
UPDATE: A second demonstration is planned Thursday, 24 Jan, 6pm, Tahrir Square.
