CYPRUS WOMEN CALL FOR TERMINATION OF MIDEAST HOSTILITIES

April 16, 2002 (Cyprus News Agency) -- Cyprus women demonstrated here tonight against the Israeli invasion of Palestinian territories, expressing their solidarity with the Palestinian people and their leader Yasser Arafat.

Dozens of women gathered in the streets around the premises of the Israeli Embassy in Nicosia, while every access to the building was blocked by barricades. Women holding candles unanimously approved a petition calling on the Israeli government to immediately withdraw its troops for the Palestinian territories and terminate the siege of Arafat.

A women's delegation failed to hand over the petition to the Embassy and was told that no one was there to receive it.

They left the petition on a barricade.
