RAMALLAH, (PIC)– The Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces on Wednesday afternoon used excessive violence against peaceful protestors carrying symbolic coffins in procession to the headquarters of de facto president Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah city.
The protestors carried four empty coffins, representing three Palestinian young men killed on Tuesday by Israeli soldiers in Qalandiya refugee camp near Ramallah city and another one killed on Wednesday by the PA security forces in Askar refugee camp in Nablus.
More than five protesting activists sustained different injuries when they were attacked with batons by PA policemen, the Palestinian information center (PIC) reporter in Ramallah said.
The police formed human barricades of its members outside Abbas’s headquarters and carried out a baton charge to disperse the protestors.
During the march, the protestors broke all verbal taboos imposed by the PA and kept chanting different slogans against Abbas and his police junta. They also described Abbas as a traitor and his authority as an ally to the occupation.
The march of coffins was led by Sheikh Khader Adnan, a public figure and ex-detainee in Israeli jails.
