Amnesty International Letterkenny will host another ‘Picnic against Apartheid’ this Saturday with a focus on the Israel-Gaza War.
The event is part of a campaign organised by Amnesty to show solidarity with the people of Palestine and call for justice and an end to Israel’s regime in Palestine.
The gathering will feature guest speaker Talha AlAli, a Palestinian psychotherapist who’s also an activist, hip-hop artist and a human rights defender. Talha was born a few months before the start of the first Intifada, lived his teenage years in the West Bank during the second Intifada and started fighting for political change and social justice in the early 2000s through music and theatre. Then he became involved in work with civil society NGOs. Through his career, Talha worked with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders. Worked with ActionAid, and Amnesty International Ireland.
Supporters will gather at An Grianán Plaza in Letterkenny this coming Saturday, 21st September from 2.30pm – 4pm.
