New York: More than a thousand attend rally for Shalit

05.27.09,

More than a thousand people, mostly young adults, held a rally opposite the Red Cross Headquarters in New York City on Wednesday in protest of the conditions of captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit's imprisonment.


"We are fighting for Gilad's human rights. How can it be that Hamas prisoners in Gaza receive visitations and proper (living) conditions while Gilad is rotting in jail without our knowing how he is," Protest organizer Hagit Hadar told Ynet.
