Distinguished Brothers, Members of IIFSO General Assembly

“A believer to a believer is like a physical structure, with a part supporting the other”

“…Believers are like a single organic body such that when an organ of it is diseased all other parts jointly keep awake in pain.”

With all distress and disturbed minds, we follow the genocides and the violation of human rights of both the Lebanese and Palestinian nations, in the midst of international silence and the debasing international official nonchalant disposition towards the issue.

While we in International Islamic Federation of Student Organisations, IIFSO,  decry, detest and condemn this criminal transgression on Lebanese and Palestinian lands as well as on the civilians who have nothing to do with the ongoing fighting , with demolition of houses and eviction, we do not intend being just satisfied with this mere condemnation. We unequivocally call on all our member-organisations as well as all youth, student and international organisations to play positive active roles in support of just causes, relief of the distressed and assistance of the oppressed: our usual stands with respect to all, without any colour, racial or religious discrimination.

Hence,

1. We call on all student organisations who are IIFSO members to organise peaceful rallies and protests in support of the issue and condemn the transgression on Monday, 24 July 2006
2. We also call on students, youths and all other different communities to donate generously to relief organisations and trustworthy International Civil society establishments on behalf of the Lebanese Students League, with Account Number 779637, Bank Audi, Lebanon, Jeb Jannine Branch
3. They should organise Enlightenment Campaigns to expose the crimes being committed against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples
4. They should send messages to influential leaders to explain the issue to them and request them to play positive roles in checking the aggression. Among them are:
   • G8 Leaders
   • European Union (The Parliament and the General Secretariat)
   • The Arab League
   • The United Nations (esp. the Office where IIFSO is registered)
   • Human Rights Organisations and the Civil Societies

5. Organisation of delegations, at regional levels, to meet necessary officials, present our demands and register our protests
6. Sending solidarity messages to Student Unions in Lebanon and Palestine and other member organisations. Lebanese Student Union website is alrabita.info
7. Organisation of a number of press activities: dialogues, contributions, Internet forums,…to explain the stand of IISO

Your Brother,

Abobakr AbdelFatah

IIFSO Secretary General
