Palestinians from the village of Bil’in, near Ramallah in the central West Bank, along with their international and Israeli supporters conducted their weekly protest against the Israeli Annexation Wall on Friday midday.
Shortly after the midday Friday prayers, the protestors marched towards the location of the illegal wall built on the village’s land.
The Israeli army installed a barbed-wire roadblock to try and prevent the protesters reaching the construction site.
As soon as the demonstration reached the roadblock troops showered the protesters with tear gas and metal rubber coated bullets injuring three people.
Among the internationals who participated in this week’s Bil’in anti wall protest were representative of the Norwegian Socialist Youth, a youth movement from the Socialist party in Norway. Most of the Norwegians were from the city of Turnham, which was the first city in the world that boycotted the South African Apartheid regime in the 1980s.
Last year the city of Turnham started a campaign against what they call Israeli apartheid agains the Palestinians.
