The Follow-up Committee Calls for Broad Participation in the National Demonstration in Kfar Yasif Tomorrow, Thursday, Against Violence and Crime

SadaNews - The Higher Follow-up Committee has called for the broadest participation in the national demonstration that will take place at 4 PM tomorrow, Thursday, in Kfar Yasif, in response to the worsening of crime. The demonstration will start in front of the Verona hall and will proceed to the Dove Roundabout.

All necessary arrangements have been made today to facilitate and ensure the success of the demonstration. The initiative for the demonstration came from the Higher Follow-up Committee and the National Committee of Mayors, in cooperation and coordination with the Kfar Yasif Local Council.

The head of the Follow-up Committee, Muhammad Barakeh, stated that "crime has reached a catastrophic level that is devastating our community."

He added that "the crime rates in our community are several times higher than those in the Jewish Israeli community, where the police themselves are supposed to pursue crime."

Barakeh concluded his remarks by saying that "the crime rates in our Arab community exceed those in our people in the occupied West Bank by eight times, as well as in Jordan, which means that we cannot claim that our masses suffer from moral decline, rather we are suffering from official political complicity from the governing authority, which is manifested in the failure to pursue crime and in attempts to undermine and fragment our community from within."
