Jenin Refugee Camp dead honoured in Derry

Jenin Refugee Camp dead honoured in Derry.

The Derry branch of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) has held a vigil at Free Derry Wall in the city.

The event took place on Saturday afternoon, during the Bloody Sunday commemoration weekend.

Speaking to Derry News, Derry IPSC branch representative, Catherine Hutton: “We are here to mark the massacre on Thursday past (January 26) of nine Palestinians in Jenin Refugee Camp during an early morning raid by the Israeli army.

“It is very poignant because the Bloody Sunday events are being held this weekend and it is so reminiscent of what happened here in Derry 51 years ago.

“What is happening in Palestine and the oppression has got to the point where every day there are one or two Palestinians killed.

“Since the start of January, there have been more than 30 Palestinians killed.

“So, the world is watching and not doing anything, so we have to do what we can. We have to raise our voices in any way we can.

“Today is really just to show respect for the dead and also to show support for Palestine and show them they are not alone,” said Cathy Hutton.
