Protestors from Women in Black demonstrated near the
home of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to mark the
20th anniversary of the foundation of the pacifist
group.
Women from east Jerusalem joined the group of
black-clad demonstrators, who carried signs that read:
"Down with occupation." A chorus sang in the
background.
Women in Black were set up after the outbreak of the
first Palestinian uprising against the Israeli
occupation in December 1987.
Since then they have been staging weekly
demonstrations on Fridays across Israel.
