Tens of thousands mark Jerusalem Day protests across Middle East
Tens of thousands rallied Friday in the Middle East in solidarity with Palestinians. In Tehran about 10,000 gathered at Engelab Square with Iranian President Khatami, calling for Ariel Sharon to be tried as a war criminal and for U.S. support for Israel to be punished. Similar protests occurred in Bahrain and Nabatieh Lebanon, where Hezbollah leader Nasrallah urged continued resistance. Rafsanjani delivered prayers accusing the West of indifference to Palestinian suffering.

Some officials say medical laws complicate seizures and prosecutions while easing public attitudes toward marijuana. The study notes eight states with medical use and highlights California voluntary registrations and Humboldt County practices.
