African immigrants protest in Israel

Protest declared by African migrants and asylum seekers in south Tel Aviv continues to draw hundreds of supporters

Levinsky Park in south Tel Aviv turned into a protest site last Sunday, and activists who promised to continue the protest "until further notice" have stood by their words.

Some 1,000 people reported to the park Tuesday – and many stayed at the site over the past few nights – to protest the Zionist regime’s policy, which has yet to change despite the escalation in the protest movement over recent weeks.

Participants in the protest movement discussed further actions they may take to attract the attention of the Israeli regime.

They intend to fill out numerous asylum requests to challenge the policy, which until now had only granted refugee status to two detained asylum seekers – even though more than 1,800 requests had been filed.

It appears that next week the protesters will stage a mass march to the migrant detention facilities.
