Article Direct Action against the Wall performed by israeli anarchist group in Beit Umar, Palestine. Beograd - The political situation in Serbia has not changed much yet. There has been passed a special law in the Serbian parliament about accepting the results of election - which was the main cause for beginning the protests. Now the opposition and the people are waiting to see if the law will be promptly implemented, in the meantime : Huge crowds are on the streets of Belgrade, celebrating what appears to be the overthrow of President Milosevic after a day of mass protests.The new political situation appeared to be confirmed shortly before midnight local time (2200 GMT) when Vojislav Kostunica appeared on state television described as the new president. In an act of nonviolent resistance on Sunday, Palestinians in western Ramallah demonstrated against Israeli Wall construction and land confiscation. Among the protestors were foreign supporters and journalists.Israeli forces opened random fire with bullets and gas at the 200 strong-crowd. Eight hit the ground.Some were seriously injured or choking from gas inhalation. Among the wounded is a journalist who was filming the demonstration.The Israeli military claims that this Palestinian land where it is building the Wall is a “closed military zone” and is forbidden to enter.Later this evening another nonviolent event will be taken place in Bethlehem's Manger Square where demonstrators will form a human clock marking 60 minutes for the the 60 years of ongoing Al Nakba. The activity is sponsored by the World Council of Churches. http://english.pnn.ps/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2887&Itemid=28
