Urgent need to increase solidarity
Rachel Corrie
Participate in PSC’s Conference – Saturday 13th April, London
Join our major conference on Gaza to discuss how to increase political pressure to break the isolation and siege on Gaza, and develop our campaigns for Palestinian rights.
“The escalation in violence from the Israeli Forces demands an increase in global solidarity” says Sarah Colborne, Director of Palestine Solidarity Campaign, ahead of PSC’s Conference. At a time when the UK Government has raised concerns about the deaths of Palestinian teenagers – now is the time to increase the pressure on Government to take action.
Human rights defenders: Raji Sourani, Director of Palestinian Centre for Human Rights; Dr Mona El Farra, Director of Gaza Projects and Jamal Juma from Stop the Wall have been invited to lead discussions at PSC’s Conference to deepen our understanding of the political campaigns for Gaza and Palestinian human rights.
