MADRID (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The management of the social networking website facebook has deleted the official page of Brazilian footballer Marcelo Vieira da Silva Júnior, who plays for the Spanish club Real Madrid only days after expressing his support for the Palestinians and criticism of Israel’s violence towards Palestinian children.

He wrote on his page a few days ago that he sympathises with the Palestinians and that he wished the violence practiced against them by the Israeli occupation to stop and for peace to prevail all over the world.

His page was deleted without prior warning and without explanation as to why it was delted.

The same site has deleted an Arabic page called “the Third Palestinian Intifada” and with the site’s management claiming that they decided to delete the page because it “incites violence”.
