Palestinian complaint filed to arrest Obama upon his arrival in Ramallah

The democratic press assembly in Palestine filed a complaint with the Palestinian attorney general in Ramallah against US president Barack Obama calling for arresting and bringing him to justice for the murder of Palestinian cameraman Mazen Da’nna in Iraq several years ago.

Journalist Omar Nizal, the secretary of the assembly, said that the democratic press assembly possesses documents proving that the US army premeditatedly killed Da’nna in 2003.

Nizal added that the documents prompted the assembly to file a complaint to detain and interrogate Obama in his capacity as the current military commander in chief of the soldiers who had killed the cameraman.

The complaint demanded the arrest of Obama soon after his arrival in Ramallah city.

In a related incident, Palestinian popular groups in the West Bank invited the citizens to participate actively in the events slated to take place on Thursday to protest Obama’s declared positions against the Palestinian cause.

The coalition of the Palestinian popular forces said these events would be held in the morning today at Al-Manara roundabout in Ramallah city.

In the Gaza Strip, Palestinian protestors on Wednesday afternoon burned US flags and pictures of Obama as his plane landed in the occupied Palestinian lands to denounce the American policies.

The protestors marched from the Unknown Soldier plaza to the protest tent outside the headquarters of the UN in Gaza chanting slogans and carrying banners against Obama and his visit to the occupied territories.

They considered that Obama’s visit would aim to strengthen Israel’s settlement activities and violations in occupied Palestine.
