| Bosnians show solidarity w/ Paleos by commemorating Quds Day |
| 2006-10-21 |
| Bosnians expressed Friday overall solidarity with Palestinians by commemorating Quds (Jerusalem) Day. In a joint press release, Bosnian civic organizations stressed the necessity of supporting Palestine's people who have suffered for the past 70 years. They said Bosnians truly recognize the suffering of the Palestinians because they all faced tragedies and hostilities. They urged the international community's immediate interference to ensure implementation of relevant UN resolutions and accords, as well as Israel's withdrawal from Occupied Palestinian Territories as a preliminary step to establish an independent Palestinian state. The groups organized a rally that included displaying documentary films about the suffering of Palestinians. The idea of Quds Day was established by Iran's former leader Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979. It takes place every year on last Friday during the month of Ramadhan. |
