NEW YORK -- A group of local visual artists have taken a bold step to remember the nearly 200 people kidnapped by Hamas.

Their images are being projected on buildings and landmarks around New York City.

Pictures of hostages were first displayed at the United Nations building last week.

"We believe that we need the world leaders to see what's going on. We need their help. We need the Arab leaders to see what's going on. We need the people to understand what Hamas is doing is not only against international law, but it's against any human right and common sense," said Omer Lubaton Granot of Hostages and Missing Families Forum, NY.

The images are being displayed on buildings around the country.
