Disabled protesters block Jaffa-Nordau junction in Jerusalem

About 20 demonstrators from the "Disabled Panthers" group blocked the road at the Jaffa-Nordau junction in Jerusalem on Sunday afternoon.

 

Following the protest, the streets were blocked to traffic, and the light rail traffic stopped.

 

After about 40 minutes, the protesters dispersed, and traffic returned to normal.

 

Earlier that day, the protesters blocked the entrances and exits of the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem for a few hours while the weekly cabinet meeting was held there.

 

The group protests over low disability pensions and a recent compromiser made by representatives of disability groups they say only perpetuates their poverty.
