==Emergency Vigil for Afghanistan and Palestine, Saturday July 18th, 11.30 am - 1.30 pm, at the Forum==
 +
 
 +
National Stop the War Coalition is urging action this weekend to highlight the
 +
appalling situation in Afghanistan where over 2 million people have recently
 +
been made refugee (in addtion to the 2 million initially made refugee when
 +
'allied' hostilities first began 7 years ago). The media are making much of
 +
British military casualties and indeed these have increased markedly which is
 +
regretable, but what of the far greater cost in terms of Afghan civilian
 +
casualties and destruction to Afghanistan itself which have rendered it one of
 +
the poorest nations on earth ?
 +
 
 +
The parallels with Palestine are in fact close. Both are occupied by hostile
 +
regimes, both suffer from the fact that without wanting it they are victims of
 +
being considered of 'strategic importance' and both are on the receiving end of
 +
the very latest in sophisticated weaponry.
 +
 
 +
Saturday's vigil is being called by Norwich Stop the War Coalition and is
 +
supported by Norwich Palestine Solidarity Campaign and in view of the current
 +
crisis the need for a vigil is felt to be critical (it should be noted that
 +
recently an aid ship to Gaza was cruelly intercepted by Israeli forces and the
 +
Viva Palestina convoy has also been unable to enter Gaza and the three year
 +
long siege still continues).

==Eyewitness report from Gaza, Thursday 30th July, 7.30 pm, Friends Meeting House==
 +
 +
Sharyn, a founder of the Free Gaza Movement, was on the boat that sailed
 +
into Gaza last year. Then, as an international volunteer in a Gazan
 +
hospital, she witnessed the recent Israeli bombardment and invasion of the
 +
Strip.
 +
 +
She will give an eyewitness account of events during this time and what
 +
life is like for Palestinians under the ongoing siege of Gaza. With the
 +
mainstream media being selective in its reportage of this area, this is an
 +
excellent opportunity to hear and question an international observer of
 +
this conflict.
