To graphically illustrate the monstrous nature of this crime, a wall made from cardboard boxes was built outside Manchester Town Hall and decorated with posters, photographs and painted slogans. A rally was held in front of the wall and finally the cardboard wall was demolished by the protestors to provide a visual representation of what needs to be done with the real West Bank Wall.
In an impressive feat of cooperation, the event was organised by an independent group of Manchester-based activists, many of whom have spent time in Palestine with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) and other peaceful organisations. The demonstration was supported by a wide range of organisations including Greater Manchester & District CND, Jews for Justice for Palestinians, Greater Manchester Stop The War Coalition, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Muslim Feminist Network, Islamic Society, Muslim Association of Britain and others. The activists created their own media including IndyMedia who filmed the whole event.
