RAMALLAH, June 2, 2006 (WAFA)- International Solidarity Movement (ISM) said that Palestinian students will hold at 11 AM tomorrow a demonstration against the Atara checkpoint north of Bier Zeit village near Ramallah.

They will be joined by Israeli students and international activists from various Palestinian solidarity groups.

"The demonstration will take place on the same day that a coalition of Israeli peace groups will hold a large march and rally in Tel-Aviv against occupation," ISM said in a press release. "The action is intended to be a beginning of a larger series of joint activities against the economic siege of the Palestinian, and against the checkpoints of the Israeli army."
