Marches in Bureij and Deir al-Balah, Gaza, demand action on killing of Comrade Omar Nayef Zayed

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in al-Bureij refugee camp in the Gaza Strip organized a symbolic funeral for Comrade Omar Nayef Zayed, killed in the Palestinian embssy in Bulgaria on February 26. 

People marched through the streets of the camp, with participants from all Palestinian factions as well as leaders, cadres and members of the Front, led by a group of Palestinian fighters carrying the banners of the Front and the symbolic coffin of the martyr. 

Comrade Hani Thawabteh, member of the Central Committee, spoke on behalf of the Front, saying that the Front will not allow the comrade’s death to go unpassed and will pursue those responsible by all means.

He reviewed the comrade’s life and history of struggle from his boyhood and his consistent commitment to the liberation of Palestine, saying that the PFLP will not allow the lives of freedom fighters like Omar Nayrf Zayed to be taken.

On March 8, the Progressive Student Labor Front also held a mock funeral and rally to memorialize Comrade Nayef, marching from the center of Deir al-Balah refugee camp and chanting against the complicity of the Palestinian embassy, including its ambassador Ahmad al-Madhbouh.

The students carried the symbolic coffin of the martyr with Palestinian flags and PFLP banners, calling for accountability of all those who colluded in the crime.
