Buffalo, N.Y., rally demands: ‘Free Palestine! Free Peltier!’
Published Jan 29, 2009 9:34 PM
A Jan. 22 protest at the Federal Building in Buffalo, N.Y., demanded an
end to U.S. support for Israel’s war machine, an end to the blockade of
Gaza and an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. There were chants of
“Free, free Palestine” and signs calling for U.S. and Israeli
accountability for atrocities and war crimes in Gaza. The demonstration was
called by the Peace, Justice and Anti-War Coalition.
The Buffalo/WNY International Action Center, a member group of the PJAW
Coalition, also brought demands to secure the safety of American Indian
Movement leader Leonard Peltier, who has been unjustly imprisoned for more than
30 years. Peltier was severely beaten upon his recent transfer to Canaan
Federal Penitentiary in Waymart, Pa.
