One Year After the Gaza Massacre : We Remember Gaza Freedom March Ottawa Rally
Date: Sunday, December 27th
Time: 1:00pm
Location: Human Rights Memorial (Elgin St. & Lisgar St.), Ottawa

Last year, on December 27th, Israel began a 22-day military assault on the Gaza Strip which killed more than 1,400 people, injured over 5,000 and left approximately 50,000 people homeless. Although the Israeli tanks have rolled out of Gaza, the devastation and illegal blockade continue.

This year, 1,000 people from all over the world will participate in the Gaza Freedom March, a historic initiative to break the siege that has imprisoned the 1.5 million people who live there. Rallies in support of this event and in commemoration of last year’s assault on Gaza will be taking place in cities around the world.

This December 27th, join Students Against Israeli Apartheid (SAIA) at the Human Rights Monument at 1:00pm to voice your solidarity with the Palestinian people and demand an end to Israel’s siege of the Gaza Strip.
