Demonstration against barghouti trial

20 Gush Shalom activists demonstrated today Monday, July 14,
in the Tel-Aviv courtroom against the trial of Marwan Barghouti,
the chief of the Fatah organization on the Wrest Bank.
At the beginning of the session,
the activists hoisted posters saying
"Barghouti - don't imprison him, talk peace with him!"
They were immediately attacked by a large number of guards who tore the posters and evicted the demonstrators violently.
The well-known historian Teddy Katz was injured and sent to hospital,
were one of his toenails was removed.

"Barghouti played a big role in achieving the present Hudna (cease-fire), and is very much needed to help Abu-Maazen in keeping it,"
said Gush spokesman Adam Keller.
"His trial is undermining the Hudna and sabotaging the peace process."
