Pakistani women, children rally to condemn Israel
6/8/2006 10:24

Hundreds of women and children marched in the Pakistani capital Islamabad on Saturday to condemn Israeli military operation and express support for the people of Lebanon and Palestine.

Organized by Imamia Students Organization (ISO) (women wing), Muslim Resistance Movement and several other organizations, the demonstration is the biggest since the Israeli attack on Lebanon beginning last month.

Despite heavy rains, a large number of veiled women and children took part in the rally.

The rally adopted a resolution, urging the United Nations to ensure medicines, food and water supply to the displaced people. Condemning Israeli attacks, the resolution urged the world body to declare Israel as a terrorist state.

Women speakers told the rally that Israel has committed terrorism while killing innocent people in the city of Qana.

An ISO leader Khanum Tayyeba said that Israel soldiers have killed innocent women and children but the western nations are silent over this heinous crime.
