Umm Salamona
The weekly demonstration against the wall in Umm salamuna gathered around 50 Palestinians and internationals on the 4th of April.
The peaceful demonstration marched down the main street until it reached the entrance to the town where the Israeli military stopped the demonstrators using marble barbed wire. At the entrance the demonstrators chanted and there where a speech in English and Arabic, where they asked the military to leave so the demonstration could pass, and reach the wall. But the military refused to let the demonstration through. After about an hour the demonstration ended. One person was detained by the soldiers and wasn’t released for around an hour before the demonstrators walked away from the town entrance.
