Tens of thousands commemorate PFLP 43rd anniversary in Gaza City
December 11, 2010
Tens of thousands of members and supporters of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine gathered today, December 11, 2010 , in Gaza City's Palestine Stadium, marking the forty-third anniversary of the PFLP's founding in a mass rally. Palestinians from all sectors - men and women, elderly and children, workers and farmers, attended the rally from all sectors of Gaza City, and traveling in groups from throughout the Gaza Strip, waving red flags that filled the stadium.
Comrade Jamil Majdalawi, member of the Political Bureau of the PFLP, delivered the main speech of the rally, emphasizing the need for Palestinian national unity to confront the occupier and build the resistance in the face of all repression. He emphasized that the Palestinian people have the right to all forms of resistance, including armed, popular and economic resistance, and that resistance is the only solution to the occupation.
He denounced the accumulation of wealth, power and influence at the expense of the struggle of the Palestinian people, saying that it benefits the enemy only. He called upon Hamas and Fatah to move toward reconciliation and prioritize the national struggle of the Palestinian people.
He denounced the path of "negotiations" and "peace talks" flowing from the Oslo accords and said that the masses of the Palestinian people must lead a collective reevaluation in order to learn the lessons of this period to continue the march of the Palestinian revolutionary struggle.
He emphasized that for the PLO to fulfill its role as an umbrella uniting the people, it must be democratic and embrace all of the parts of the Palestinian national movement in a pluralistic manner, based on democratic elections and proportional representation.
Comrade Majdalawi paid tribute to the Front's leadership and history, calling for the freedom of General Secretary Comrade Ahmad Sa'adat in the jails of the occupier, and the freedom of his comrades and all Palestinian prisoners, and saluting the legacy of past General Secretaries Abu Ali Mustafa and George Habash. He noted the strength and importance of the involvment of young people and women in all activities and at all levels of the Front and the Palestinian movement.
Comrade Musab al-Bashir, a freed former prisoner, spoke about the struggle of prisoners, calling on all forces to prioritize the case of Palestinian prisoners, and pointing to the prisoners' movement as an example of ending the internal division. He discussed the ongoing crimes and abuses being committed against prisoners in the Zionist jails, and emphasized the commitment of the Front on the 43rd anniversary to its imprisoned comrades and all of the imprisoned sons and daughters of the Palestinian people.
The festival included artistic performances, speeches and poetry and concluded with a new song performed by the Palestinian artist Ahmed Assaf entitled "The Backbone of the Front".

Muharram processions foiled
Mourners Beaten, Arrested; Curfew Triggers Chaos In City
WASIM KHALID

Srinagar, Dec 15: Police fired tear gas canisters and baton charged the mourners, who formed part of Muharram processions, and commuters even as the stringent curfew remained imposed in areas coming under five police stations of Srinagar. At least 12 people sustained injuries while as 15 persons were arrested following clampdown on the mourners.Complete chaos ruled the city where curfew enforced complete shutdown and hundreds of commuters and students appearing in the exams were either stopped or forced to take alternative routes by the police and CRPF amid the winter chill. The police was accused of highhandedness while dealing with the situation. Early morning, CRPF and police wearing riot gear and equipped with sophisticated weapons were deployed in strength to enforce a strict curfew in a bid to debar people from joining Muharram processions.The bunker vehicles were parked at major junctions while concertina wires were laid to stop the movement of people on the roads and city entry points. Despite strict security arrangements in city and surrounding areas, the mourners brought out processions at various localities.A large group of mourners assembled at Khanqah and were later led by Itehadul Muslimeen chairman Moulana Masroor Abbas Ansari to city. As the mourners, dressed in black clothes and beating their chests, marched towards Lal Chowk, they were intercepted at several places by police.The large procession was first stopped at Babdemb by police. Cops fired tear gas canisters and resorted to baton charge to disperse the mourners. Later Masroor Abbas along with his many party members was arrested and lodged at Kral Khud Police Station.Senior member of Hurriyat (G), Nisar Ahmad Rather, led a procession of mourners near Jehangir Chowk. Police used force to quell the procession.The police also swung into action on mourners at Chinkral Mohalla in Habba Kadal area, Budshah Chowk near Lal Chowk and Tankipora near Divisional Commissioner’s office. The police fired innumerable tear gas shells. Some 10 people received injuries. Journalists covering the incident alleged that SHO Karan Nagar manhandled them. In the evening, violence again flared up at Jehangir Chowk.Muharram procession was also taken out at Dalgate which was intercepted by police.Earlier curfew was imposed in areas falling under Kothibagh, Maisuma, Kralkhud, Ram Munshi Bagh and Shaheedgunj police stations. The officials said the restrictions in these areas were imposed due to apprehensions that separatist groups might attempt to stage anti-national protests during Muharram processions.
COMPLETE CHAOS:Unaware of curfew and strict restrictions, the commuters and students appearing in exams were caught in the chaos. The troops manning streets asked them to take diversions or barred them from moving at all. A student said even their admit slips were not entertained by the troops.Farooq Qautroo, a commuter who was Delhi bound was stopped in Dalgate and beaten. “I showed them my air ticket, but the policemen slapped me and asked me to return,” Qautroo said. “I took a different route thereafter to reach the Airport.”Across the Badshah Bridge, SHO Kothibagh led a team and stopped students and commuters to proceed. The police officer also behaved rudely even with the journalists.Police did not allow even vehicles of media organisations and journalists to enter the areas under curfew.The imposition of curfew led to massive traffic jams in the city areas where no restrictions were imposed. Schools, shops and private offices in the curfew-bound areas were closed.Muharram marks the death of Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) grandson, Imam Hussein (RA), in the battle of Karbala on Ashura.Before 1990, the people used to take out processions from Abi Guzar in Kothibagh and Guru Bazaar in Kralkhud areas which culminated at Dalgate in Ram Munshi Bagh area to mark the eighth day of Muharram. However after 1990, the religious processions were banned by the Government.

SKIMS BUS ‘TRAPPED’ At 9:30 pm, the SKIMS doctors and para-medics traveling in a official bus were stopped. The doctors said they were traveling from Bagh-i-Mehtab to SKIMS Soura when there were stopped by police at civil secretariat. “They asked us to moved through Shaheedgunj,” a doctor said. “However we were again stopped there as they had wires on the road. We were forced to return. While coming back, they have again put the barbed wire near Civil Secretariat and were not allowed to proceed further. And we remained trapped for hour there”. After an hour, the doctors said they were allowed only on repeated pleas to pass through Kani Kadal area.
POLICE SPEAKS:Police spokesman said there were no reports of any untoward incident from any place. “Situation is normal and under control throughout Kashmir valley,” the spokesman said. “As a precautionary measure, authorities have today put in place restrictions under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, under areas falling under five police stations.”

WikiLeaks' Assange says U.S. trying to prosecute him

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who angered Washington by releasing secret cables, said in a documentary on Sunday he faced prosecution by the United States and was
disappointed with how Swedish justice had been abused. Skip related contentAssange has been remanded in custody in Britain after a European arrest warrant was issued by Sweden, which wants to question Assange about allegations made by two women of sexual crimes. He has
denied the allegations.
"I came to Sweden as a refugee publisher involved with an extraordinary publishing fight with the Pentagon, where people were being detained and there is an attempt to prosecute me for espionage," Assange
said in an interview in the documentary, aired on Swedish public television.
"So I am unhappy and disappointed with how the Swedish justice system has been abused," the 39-year-old Australian added in the documentary, which was made before his arrest.
Assange faces a fresh British hearing on December 14. His Swedish lawyer has said he will fight extradition to Sweden.
One of his British lawyers, Jennifer Robinson, told ABC News in London on Friday that a U.S. indictment of Assange was imminent, but the report offered no further details or comment by Robinson why she
believed charges were likely to be filed.
The U.S. Justice Department has been looking into a range of criminal charges, including violations of the 1917 Espionage Act, that could be filed in the WikiLeaks case involving the release of hundreds of
confidential and classified U.S. diplomatic cables.
