Palestinian Prisoners Day 2010 Demo - "Release ALL Palestinian Political Prisoners Now!"

On Saturday April 17th at 2pm the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) and the socialist-republican political party éirígí will mark Palestinian Prisoners Day with a joint demonstration outside the Israeli Embassy in Dublin (122 Pembroke Road, Dublin 4).

On Saturday 24th April the Dublin IPSC's monthly Boycott & Divestment action will focus on Veolia (the operators of the LUAS and several waste management projects) who are complicit in the building of a colonial-settler only light rail system in occupied East Jerusalem and who operate an Israeli landfill in the West Bank.

We are asking supporters to assemble at the St. Stephen's Green Luas stop at 1.00pm where we will be giving information to the general public about Veolia's operations in illegally occupied East Jerusalem, and asking the residents of Dublin to lobby their councillors in support of a motion at Dublin city Council that is asking the City Manager not to sign or renew any further contracts with Veolia until such time as they cease their involvement in Jerusalem's Apartheid Rail system and in the illegal Tovlan landfill in the West Bank.

For full details about Veolia's operations in illegally occupied Palestine and the Dublin City Council motion targetting Veolia please see the link below.

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign is asking shoppers not to buy Israeli goods in solidarity with the people of Gaza who are still being besieged by the Israeli government.

We will assemble for a short rally @ 1pm in Daunt Square in Cork. From there, we will march to various stores around the city centre, where we will stage protests to encourage shoppers to boycott Israeli products.

This is an event not to be missed!!

The well-known and lauded US singer-songwriter David Rovics will play a fundraising concert for the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign on 24th April in Brokers Bar, Dame St, Dublin 2.

Cost: €7 (waged); €5 (unwaged/student)
