Palestine Solidarity - Bridge the Gap - Human Chain in Ballinamore (at the bridge in the town), Co.Leitrim 2pm - 3pm

Thursday, December 31st 2009

In an act of solidarity with the human rights activists attempting to gain entry into Gaza and those taking part in the Gaza Freedom March on 31st December, the IPSC intends to form ‘human chains’ at various locations around the country – Dublin city centre, Scarrif in Co. Clare, Ballinamore in Co. Leitrim and Sligo Town.

Similar events will be occurring all around the world on this day and the images will be sent on to Gaza so people can see internationals standing in solidarity with them. We’re asking you to take one hour out of your afternoon on New Year’s Eve to show your support for the people of Gaza and to remember the more than 1,400 Palestinians who were killed this time last year.
