Human rights activist to give talk in Salisbury

GARRY Ettle, a prominent human rights activist, will give a talk at the United Reformed Church in Salisbury on 13 June following an invitation from Amnesty International (AI) and Sarum Concern for Israel Palestine (SCIP).

The evening meeting is the latest in a long series of events designed to fulfil the request of the residents of Bethlehem to ‘Come and see, go and tell’. The Nakba 75 commemoration, in May, that included an address by the Dean of Salisbury, filled the Quaker Meeting House to capacity.

Garry Ettle, a committed and highly principled human rights activist has opposed the Israeli authorities’ system of apartheid for years.

Peter Curbishley, from the AI group based in Salisbury has said that the talk would be based on the Amnesty International report on the apartheid system in operation against the Palestinians in Israel. The Amnesty report is detailed and follows other reports by B’Tselem and Human Rights Watch on the same subject.

Starts 7:30pm – free with a parting collection. Zaytoun Fair Trade produce will be on sale.
