Asylum seekers held massive protest

For first time, Israel's 53,000 asylum seekers will stage labor strike in protest of regime's policies.

Starting from Sunday, the asylum seekers will not go to work and will probably continue to strike throughout the week.

On Sunday morning a protest will be held in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv.

On Monday, community activists intend to contact the United Nation High Commission for Refugees and foreign embassies in Israel, asking them to demand of the Israeli regime to take responsibility for the asylum seekers.

Thousands of asylum seekers held a demonstration in south Tel Aviv's Levinsky Park Saturday night and called for the strike, and starting from Sunday, the asylum seekers will not go to work.

The strike will probably continue throughout the week.
