Annual protest in Hebron for the reopening of Shuhada Street (aparthied street). Shuhada Street lies at the centre of the ancient city of Hebron. For many years it was a busy shopping precinct, full of life. Today it is deserted. When the radical Israeli settler Baruch Goldstein shot dead 29 Palestinian worshippers at Hebron's Ibrahimi mosque in 1994, the Israeli army feared reprisals against three nearby Israeli settlements. It closed off the street to Palestinian vehicles and later Shuhada Street was blocked even for most Palestinian pedestrians.Most of the people who once lived here have left their homes. All the shops have closed, and Palestinians living in the area have to climb over roofs to reach their neighbours. In addition, they suffer violence and harrassment by settlers and soldiers, who often neglect to intervene to protect them from settler violence.

The lead-up to Saturdays protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government cant ignore, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.Nationwide day of action against TPPA: “Ignore us at your peril” government warned
“The lead-up to Saturday’s protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government can’t ignore”, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.
A video shows young activists publicising Saturday’s nationwide protests with footage from Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Nelson.
Action in the 22 centres starts at 10am in Raglan and many of the larger centre marches begin at 1pm, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
“People have been incredibly creative”, Miller said. “In Christchurch a giant plain-packaged cigarette packet will be marching in the crowd, while Auckland will be led by an enormous Trojan Horse, locked in a tug-of-war between major commercial interests and activist communities.”
“Around the country everyday kiwis will be photographed for a virtual campaign with signs saying ‘I am a ___________ and I say #TPPANoDeal.’ Already this campaign has been very popular.”
“Trade minister Tim Groser needs to recognise that people don’t buy the ‘trust me’ line. They want to be listened to when they say they don’t want the TPPA. And they deserve to be listened to.”

The road bearing left was obstructed by large stone blocks placed by the interior ministry. Some of the youth (15 – 18 yrs. old, roughly) took to tossing rocks and debris over the wall - to what end is anyone’s guess. The road bearing right led to Qasr An-Nil road, which led directly to U.S. embassy. Since the road was far too wide for a
ny concreted obstructions, the interior ministry placed heavy concentrations of officers to hold protestors at bay. The officers mainly took to firing tear gas at protestors, and pelting them with rocks. The younger protestors responded in kind, pelting officers with rocks, and picking up tear gas canisters (which were still spewing gas) and lobbing them back at the cops.

Some photos of duelling protests from Macalester College campus. On the North side of Grand, a prowar barbeque. On the South side of Grand, an antiwar... uh, people standing with signs. If there'd been real snow on the ground still, I totally would've tried to start a snowball fight in the grand Macalester tradition.
Also? You'll notice one side of the street looks a LOT more like a conglomeration of Macalester students, and the other a LOT more like a couple students in the middle of a random group of people who decided to set up shop there. I'm hoping because it was a large space they could set up on, not because it's a school well known for its commitment to antiwar activism, international studies, and is a campus guaranteed to have a few Iraqis and a large number of assorted other Middle Easterners around. Because that would mean they were just trying to piss people off.

01.07.2013. – IZAĐITE I DAJTE IM OTKAZ
Prvog dana protesta, naš su zahtjev za hitno usvajanje Zakona o JMB stavili na dnevni red. Vijeće ministara BiH donijelo je privremenu odluku o JMBG. Drugog dana protesta, Belmina Ibrišević dobila je pasoš. Sedmog dana Belmina je izmještena na liječenje, a za 3.057 beba određeni su jedinstveni matični brojevi. Tada smo im dali rok do 30.06. Rok u kojem su samo trebali uraditi svoj posao i osigurati djeci elementarna prava. Trebali su raditi posao za koji smo ih odabrali. Trebali su raditi posao za koji ih odlično plaćamo. Nisu radili. Iznevjerili su našu djecu. Mi brinemo za djecu, oni brinu za izbore i novac. Sada im dajemo otkaz.
Ponedjeljak, 01.07.2013. godine je neradni dan. Izađite i dajte im OTKAZ.
