DAMASCUS,(ST)_ The people ‘s committee for Yarmouk refugee camp on Wednesday held a mass sit- in front of the camp entrance in Damascus, marking the June 5th setback anniversary.
Participants in the sit in chanted slogans commemorating martyrs of the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation, denouncing the practices of the armed terrorist groups in trying to expel the Palestinian refugees from their camps in order to liquidate the Palestinian cause.
The Participants raised pictures of ” The Return Back” martyrs who were targeted by the Israeli occupation forces on the outskirts of the occupied Syrian Arab Golan in 2011 and banners calling for expulsion of armed terrorist groups from all Palestinian camps.
In a statement read by Taysir Abu Bakr, member of the Political Bureau of the Palestinian Liberation Front, the Palestinian factions stressed that the Palestinian people refuse displacement attempts to new exiles , denouncing attacks and crimes committed by armed terrorist groups against Yarmouk refugee camp.
“Those demanding freedom and democracy can be only with the Palestinian people in supporting their legitimate national rights of return and freedom and independence”, the statement stressed, pointing out that history will record that these groups were the cause of the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian people and that they caused a new setback for the Palestinian people.
The Palestinian factions underscored that the Yarmouk refugee camp signifies the right to return to Palestine and that what is happening in it and the rest of the camps is incompatible with freedom and democracy claimed by armed terrorist groups , demanding the armed groups to immediately leave Yarmouk refugee camp and other camps so as the Palestinian people will continue their liberation to achieve their legitimate aims and defeat the occupation on the way to return back and establish their independent state on the land of Palestine.
