Protesters Continue to Target Leviev New York
February 10, 08 by IDEX Online Staff Reporter
Protesters demonstrated outside Leviev New York this weekend, urging shoppers to boycott the Madison Avenue store on the last major shopping day before Valentine’s Day, in response to Leviev’s construction activities in the West Bank.
This was the seventh protest organized by New York activist group Adalah-NY at the Leviev jewelry store since the shop opened in November. The protestors held signs and sang songs, and played parody games criticizing Leviev for human rights abuses.
A smaller group of demonstrators also picketed outside Leviev’s Old Bond St. store in London on Saturday. The group, which held placards and handed out leaflets, was from Architects and Planners for Justice in Palestine, together with support from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the Wall and Jews for Justice for Palestinians.
