front of using the Internet as a tool in the struggle for

Palestine. The PHRMG Monitor, the PHRMG bi monthly human
rights magazine, is available in their entirety as downloads

the academic freedom of Palestinian universities. The latest

issues of the monitor will include reports on terrorist
attacks on Palestinians by Israelis, and the Israeli police
force reluctance to find the guilty. The incidents on
Birzeit University following the French Prime Minister Mr.

members of the Monitoring Group believe that the strength of
democracy and civil society in Palestinian life will be
determined by the Palestinian people through their defense
