The group vowed to mobilise its members and their networks to make the march a success. The association was formed at the end of a summit held on the sideline of International Digital Media Fair, Tehran 9th to 15th Oct 2011. More than 50 cyber activists from Italy, France, Australia, Chili, Cuba, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Norway, Turkey, Palestine, Lebanon, UAE, Bosnia and UK participated in the work of the summit. The summit, which was organized by International Union of Unified Ummah, concluded work by adopting a decison to form the association to coordinate activities of free cyber activists around the world in resisting opression, marginalisation and socio-economic injusticies. “The asssociaiton members declared their full support for the Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ)” Said Jamal Daoud, the interim Secretary of the association. “The founding members expressed their deep concerns about the situation in the holy city and the Israeli authorities actions to change its demography”. The association members disscused in the last day of the summit ways to raise awareness about the situation in the occupied Palestine and explored ways to support the Palestinians in their struggle for freedom and independence. They also discussed ways to actively participate in the GMJ. “The members discussed the best practical ways to actively participate in the march. These could include mobilising cyber networks, produce films and clips about the issue and post them on internet and organising forums and exhibitions to encourage people to participate”. The march is already attracting the support of many organisations and activists’ groups. While expecting many obstacles in achieving the goals, the groups are highly enthusiastic to expose the brutal nature of Israeli occupation of Palestine and the international community’s hypocrisy on this issue. The group members noted that the Israeli occupation and brutality were going on for more than 63 years without any menaingful measures to end them.The members believe that it is the time that international activists and freedom-loving people unite to condemn Israeli atrocities and demand these atrocities end. The founding committe is due to meet in two months time to finalise detailed documents and steps to achieve declared objectives. **1424 Islamic Republic News Agency/IRNA NewsCode: 30624514 |
