BERN, - Twenty Swiss organizations have called for picketing the Egyptian embassy on Wednesday to protest the building of the steel wall under the Egyptian-Gaza borders while an Algerian society denounced the step.
The alliance of societies in solidarity with the Palestinian people, grouping 20 organizations, has said that the rally would also demand lifting the siege on Gaza and opening the Rafah border terminal.
The European solidarity movement with the Palestinian people has organized protest marches in London on Thursday to be followed by similar rallies in Greece, The Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland and Sweden on Saturday in front of the Egyptian embassies.
The demonstrators would denounce the wall and protest Cairo's refusal to allow more than 1,400 solidarity activists from heading to Rafah crossing to enter Gaza and for putting impediments before the Lifeline-3 aid convoy.
For its part, the Algerian society of Muslim scholars severely condemned Cairo for building the steel wall, adding that Gaza had suffered enough over more than three years of tight siege.
It called on the Egyptian scholars to rise up and demand an end to Gaza's strangulation. PIC
