Occupation, not a road! Qalqilya solidarity rally


This Friday (April 8th) a rally will be held for solidarity with the Qalqilya (قلقيلية) area residents in their struggle against land expropriation.

CfP members from the Qalqilya subdistrict, the Olive Harvest Coalition, MachsomWatch, the Qalqilya municipality and Nebi Elias (خربة النبي الياس) and Izbat Al- Tabib (عزبة الطبيب) Regional Councils invite you to a support rally for the area's residents and against the planned bypass road planned at Nebi Elias.

This December an expropriation warrant was issued for 30 landlords in the area as well as demolition warrants for the businesses located on the bypass' suggested route.

According to reports work on the road will begin in April. More information about the expected damage from this road is available here. Join us to support a non-violent resistance to the occupation and land expropriation - which is very important in these days of surging violence, human-rights organization hunt and field trials.
