Palestinian lives, British profits: speaking tour
Monday 24 February — Saturday 1 March
Join us in your city for a unique opportunity to hear from War on Want and partner organisation ADDAMEER Palestinian Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.
This tour comes at a crucial moment: 5,033 Palestinians are detained by Israel, including 173 children, and 145 administrative detainees held without charge or trial. The British corporation G4S continues to provide security systems, equipment and ongoing services to Israeli prisons at which human rights organisations have documented systematic torture and ill treatment of Palestinian prisoners, including child prisoners.
