Anti-terrorism Bill will be changedThe highly controversial Antiterrorism Bill is subject to amendments and changes in Parliament and as such no one should have any fear or feeling of threat from the proposed Bill, Justice Minister Dr. Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said. The government is aware of concerns raised by the global and local community on certain provisions contained in the draft of the Anti-terrorism Bill and the Government is ready to alleviate them by discussion, compromise and flexibility, he added.

Dozens of Palestinians wounded by Israeli bombings in Gaza are now seeking treatment at East Jerusalem hospitals.
|
Occupied East Jerusalem - More than 50 Palestinians are being treated at hospitals in East Jerusalem after sustaining injuries during the ongoing Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip. The process to enter East Jerusalem from Gaza is long and arduous, and only a small number of Palestinian patients received permission from the Israeli authorities to reach the city since Israel's military operation in the Gaza Strip began over three weeks ago. At the Israeli-controlled Erez crossing, many of the injured waited hours and were interrogated before they were allowed to cross. Some of those in need of treatment said the Israeli soldiers had tried to convince them to stay in the field hospital Israel has set up at the crossing, or suggested that they go to Israeli hospitals, instead of Palestinian-run hospitals in East Jerusalem. At Saint Joseph and Al-Makkased hospitals, hundreds of Palestinians have come to visit the injured, bringing them sweets and gifts for the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. |
