London: Red Line for Palestine + Update

Peace campaigners will be drawing a Red Line around Parliament on Wednesday, 4 June from 11.30am.

Members of Christians For Palestine, Pax Christi, Westminster J&P, Christian CND, Campaign Against the Arms Trade, Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB); Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC); Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA); Stop the War Coalition; Muslim Association of Britain and many more will be saying that genocide is a red line.

The organisers say: "Last week, the UK government announced a suspension of trade negotiations with Israel and sanctions on a limited number of individuals. It is too little and too late, especially given that Israel has clearly stated, and has shown over the past days, that it intends to deepen its genocide. However, as Israel openly uses starvation as a weapon of war, cracks are appearing in the political establishment. Now is the time to put pressure on the Government, MPs and Parliament to act.

People will begin to assemble at 11.30am around parliament to coincide with Prime Minister's Questions at noon. Dress in red and join others holding a fabric red line to encircle parliament."

UPDATE: Christians for Palestine will be gathering at Methodist Central Hall at 11am
