INFORMATION & PERSONAL ACTIONS
Palestine Solidarity in Scotland: Research participants needed: PhD candidate, Margaux Gauthier, wants to interview people, from all backgrounds, involved in Palestinian activism in Glasgow or Edinburgh. She is studying changes in the Palestinian movement following October 7, 2023 and the methods used to raise awareness. Interviews last about one hour and should take place before end July 2026. Interviews will cover personal experiences, challenges and any alliances with other liberation movements. To participate, contact Margaux by email or on WhatsApp 07368 268177.
Hope for my Family: The year-long campaign has now reached almost 25% of the target. If you missed this, it is a campaign by a Glasgow Palestinian family to raise funds for relatives in Gaza. The family are well known and highly regarded in Scottish Palestine solidarity circles. Their story, like many others, is harrowing. Even if you can’t give, you should read the very personal situation report.
Support Palestinian prisoners: Write to your MP demanding sanctions against Israel and the release of wrongly detained Palestinian prisoners. B’Tselem has described the conditions facing Palestinians in Israeli prisons as akin to ‘torture camps’, with arbitrary detentions, detention of minors, sexual violence and lethal mistreatment.
