Some 400 persons demonstrated outside the French Consulate here Friday chanting “J’Accuse” and waving signs denouncing the release of Abu Daoud. The demonstrators included II youths wearing blue track suits and red-stained T shirts symbolizing the Israeli athletes murdered at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Eleven women in mourning garb marched with them, representing the families of the Munich victims. The demonstration was organized by the Canadian Zionist Federation. The French Consul, Henri Dumont, accepted a letter of protest from the demonstrators and promised to transmit it to his government.
