Palestinian Tent City to be erected at Free Derry Corner![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Derry citizens’ call for Solidarity with Palestine. Activists from Derry and Donegal have called for people to join in the creation of a “Tent City” at Free Derry Corner, this Monday, 13 July. The family-friendly action is to be in solidarity with Palestinian families whose homes are currently being demolished by the Israeli State. Families and individuals have been asked to come to Free Derry Corner between 11 am and 2pm on Monday, and pitch a tent if they have one. The area is to be cordoned off, in order to create a child-friendly space. “Monday is “International Day against the Demolitions in Palestine” ” explained Julia Tor Rojo speaking for the group of Derry and Donegal based anti-war, community and human rights activists. “This day was called by the international networks of Palestine solidarity groups in order to highlight the plight of the hundreds of Palestinians whose legally-held homes are continually being illegally and forcefully bulldozed by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF)” The demolitions, which are in breach of current peace agreements, as well as International and Israeli law, are being carried-out in order to facilitate the extension of illegal Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories. |
