Ynet – Prominent activists from the asylum seeker community announced Sunday their intention to hold a protest in which demonstrators will stay in shifts in Levinsky Park in south Tel Aviv. The protest is to go on “until further notice”.
The asylum seekers are protesting against the government’s immigration policy that has not changed despite the recent actions of protest that they have taken in the past weeks. “We will stay here as long as needed, night and day. We’re not going to give up, we have no other choice because we are fighting for our lives,” explained 26-year-old Pilmon, a dominant figure in the community’s protest.
