Sunday May 03, 2009 20:37 by TD - Free Palestine Campaign
“Wait ... wait, don't shoot, this is a nonviolent protest, you've shot an Israeli demonstrator" (Basem, moments before he was murdered) The morning of 17th April last before he was murdered, 30-year-old Basem Ibrahim Abu-Rahma went to the house of Hamis in the village of Bil'in to dispense his medicine - 3 months previously, Hamis sustained head injuries as a result of being struck by the same type high velocity tear gas bullet that would kill Basem, "then off he went to visit another friend in the village who is ill with cancer. Then a little girl from the village wanted a pineapple but couldn’t find any in the local stores. So Basem went to Ramallah to get a pineapple and was back before noon for the Friday prayers and the weekly demonstration against the theft of our land by the apartheid wall" http://www.bilin-ffj.org/index.php?option=com_content&t...id=30. After a picket of two establishments selling Israeli goods and food stuffs; Woodies DIY store and Aldi, yesterday's Free Palestine Campaign's information stall in Shop Street commemorated the memory of the gentle Basem and highlighted his murder. |
