Lecture about 'The cemeteries of numbers'
by Yahea Abed El Azziz
The cemeteries of numbers are cemeteries where 'unidentified
dead bodies' of Palestinians are burried by the Israelis. There are four
cemeteries in different parts of Palestine. The first is near the village of
Fasail, the second is near Al Jeftlik in the Jordan Valley, the third is in the
village Wadi Al Hamam near Tiberius on the slopes of the mountain where the
famous Hiteen battle took place and the fourth is in a military closed area
where the boarders of Lebanon, Syria and Palestine meet.
These cemeteries were given this name, because each corpse is
given a number written on a tin plate. The Israelis say that these are the
numbers of the victims files and not serial numbers according to their death or
burial dates.
Yaheah Abed El Azziz will speak about the history, the
location of the cemeteries, the current situation and testimonies by family
members who do not know where they can visit the graves of their
beloved.

from 7pm. It is located in the Alternative Information Center in Beit Sahour,
