PALESTINE LIVES 2008
1-4pm Saturday June 7th, Albert Square, Manchester.

Palestine Lives 2008 is a celebration of Palestinian art, culture, history and experience. It brings together, artists, poets and musicians from Palestine and England to celebrate the fact that Palestine and its culture still exists despite the 60 years of the Nakba.

There will be stalls informing people of the issues facing the people in the Middle East, as well as peace organisations campaigning not just for peace in the region but against nuclear weapons and all war.

Speakers will bring messages of solidarity to assure the Palestinian people of our continued support in their struggle for peace and justice.

This event comes at a time when the situation in Palestine, particularly in Gaza is at crisis point, with people, especially children, starving, and dying due to lack of food, water and medicines.

We are committed through this event to raising awareness in the face of a daily hostile press and media.

Speakers include:
Baroness Jenny Tonge
Musheir el Farrar- Palestinian human rights activist
Khalid - Palestinian student from Gaza
Linda Ramsden- director of ICAHD UK
Richard Kuper - Jews for justice for Palestinians
Linda Clair - Manchester PSC

During the event there will be music, food, a march around the town centre all in celebration of solidarity with the Palestinian people.
