Hebron Citizens to Protest at Internal Checkpoints
HEBRON, July 29, 2005 (WAFA)- Citizens of Hebron to demonstrate against the limit on travel by marching to one of the internal checkpoints with Israeli and International activists On Saturday July 30.
In a press release, International Solidarity Movement (ISM) said "while many cities in the West Bank are cordoned off at their borders, Hebron citizens must wait hours just to get across town.
For the last four years, the internal checkpoints have severely limited citizen's access to the most basic essentials such as school, medical treatment, and shops.
Travelers are regularly subjected to searches and as male solders are the norm in the area, women are often not allowed to be searched by female soldiers, ISM said.
Demonstrators will select one of the internal checkpoints to be protested against as a symbol of all limits on travel for Palestinians.
