Proposed action for all participants to the WSF in Tunis
http://www.fsm2013.org/fr/node/11430

As you probably know, the international BDS campaign condemns the 
partnership established by the French company France Telecom Orange with 
the Israeli company Partner, to install telephone lines for settlements 
and the army in the occupied Palestinian territories. One WSF workshop 
(at least) will address this issue.

It has been reported that promotions by phone companies operating in 
Tunisia, including Orange, aim at providing travelers, coming off the 
plane in Tunis, with free chips for their mobile phone, with a few hours 
of free calls.

We ask all participants and activists to denounce the involvement of the 
Orange company serving the Israeli colonization.

We inform WSF participants and activists that an agreement has been 
reached with Tunisie Telecom for free chips to be offered to 
participants of the WSF.

We therefore ask you to:

1) forward this message to all participants that you know, mailing 
lists, websites etc..

2) organize or participate in protests at the airport, with leaflets 
explaining this action. The message of this leaflet is simple:
"Orange has signed a partnership with the Israeli company Partner that 
installs telephone relays for the Israeli army and settlers in the 
Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 <tel:1967>. We refuse to use 
Orange chips, as long as this company stays complicit with the Israeli 
colonization and occupation of Palestine."

Thanks for your help and your comments.

In solidarity,
The French BDS Campaign
