Cyprus women call for termination of Mideast hostilities
Nicosia, April 16 (CNÁ) -- Cyprus women demonstrated here tonight
against the Israeli invasion of Palestinian territories, expressing
their solidarity with the Palestinian people and their leader Yasser
Arafat.
Dozens of women gathered in the streets around the premises of the
Israeli Embassy in Nicosia, while every access to the building was
blocked by barricades. Women holding candles unanimously approved a
petition calling on the Israeli government to immediately withdraw its
troops for the Palestinian territories and terminate the siege of
Arafat.
A women's delegation failed to hand over the petition to the Embassy
and was told that no one was there to receive it. They left the
petition on a barricade.
