Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Hundreds of Jordanian activists held a demonstration on Friday in the Jordan Valley region near the borders of the Palestinian territories to mark the 65th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, the "catastrophe" that witnessed the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians upon the establishment of the Israeli entity.
Hundreds of demonstrators headed to the Southern Shuneh region at Al Karamah, marking the Palestinian Nakba and stressing Palestinian right of return and right of self-determination.
The area witnessed heavy security presence, especially that the Southern Shuneh and Karamah regions are adjacent to the Jordanian borders with Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Protesters waved Palestinian flags and placards in support of Palestinian struggle to regain their rights and denounced Israeli forces' escalating violations in Jerusalem and the occupied territories, Ammon News correspondent Mohammad Abo Hmaed reported from the border region.
