Major UK Union writes to Israeli Ambassador regarding children in Silwan
On 17 February 2011, the University and College Union in the UK, which represents 120,000 academics, wrote to the Israeli ambassador in London regarding the situation facing children in Silwan. In the letter, the Union expresses its "horror at the continued assaults by the Israeli security forces on Palestinian children" and says these actions "can only be seen as a deliberate campaign of intimidation in connection with the continued construction of illegal settlements in the Silwan neighbourhood."
This letter follows the release of an Urgent Appeal to end the violation of the rights of children in Silwan, in occupied East Jerusalem, by the Israeli authorities.
