Cigarette case and butts of Shaheed Rami Gharrah - '100 Shaheeds - 100 Lives' Exhibition, Feb 2001

This photograph shows cigarette case and butts that belonging to Shaheed Rami Gharrah from the village of Jitt in the Galilee. On October 1, 2000, Gharrah participated in a protest with fellow villagers. After the protest ended, he stayed with his friends near the village entrance, where the Occupation Army Forces started firing live ammunition, shooting him in the head and murdered. These items were displayed at the "100 Shaheeds - 100 Lives" exhibition held at the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah On February 20, 2001. which is taken by Isabel de la Cruz. the idea of the exhibition emerged weeks after the outbreak of the Second Intifada (Al-Aqsa Intifada) as a tribute to all those murdered in the struggle. However, as the number of shaheeds was exponentially increasing, the exhibition was limited to honoring the first 100 shaheeds representing all areas of Historic Palestine.
