On Saturday, February 13, 2016, Al-Quds University in Jerusalem held a „cultural event“ in memory of Baha ‚Alyan, who, together with Bilal Ghanem, carried out an October 13, 2015 shooting and stabbing attack on a Jerusalem bus in which three people were killed and four wounded. The event was held under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority’s „High Commission for Youth and Sports,“ a branch of the PLO in charge of youth and sports activities in the PA territories and the Palestinian diaspora.[1] As part of the event 2,500 students, sitting side by side and each reading a book, formed a human chain „of readers and writers“ under the slogan „The Baha Al-Shuhada Chain“ (meaning „the Light of the Martyrs chain“).
