A group of foreigners stood in solidarity with the Palestinians acting as a human shield in Arafate

22
years ago

01 April 2002,

A group of foreigners solidarity with the Palestinians living in occupied lands and supported Jassir Arafat as a human shield. The tension was so high, although it was reported that it was a civilian mission to protect the Palestinians, they suffered the attacks of the Israeli army. Two days later, the Israeli tanks entered Nablus. The Basques Fermin Muguruza and Paul Nicholson were in the support group for the Palestinians. The latter spent a month as a human shield to protect Arafat at Ramalah headquarters.
