The Popular Committee Against the Siege organized the vigil, encouraging those who lost loved ones to carry their photos in the streets as the rally took place in the Square of the Unknown Fighter. Others carried candles and banners calling for an end to the siege and a return to a life of dignity. Children from the Baladna Cultural Theater presented performed skits illustrating the damage done to kids and families during the siege, demanding protection from injustice and violence. Jamal Al-Khudari, the head of the popular committee, addressed those gathered. "We will never surrender," he said, stressing the strength of the people in the face of rights violations. He told men, women and children gathered in the square that it was their right to demand and end to the unjust blockade, even if it meant facing Israeli weapons. "On this day we mark a thousand days of siege and a thousand days of patience and determination," he said. by http://guerrillaradio.iobloggo.com/
