'Defend the Right to Protest' rally in Guildhall Square
Protest to 'show our opposition to genocide and support for the right to take part in non-violent direct action' - Derry IPSC
The Derry - Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (DIPSC) has welcomed the High Court’s decision to allow Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori take a judicial review of the decision to proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act.
A spokesperson for the group said: "It is now more important than ever to stay on the streets to defend the right to protest. That is why we will be gathering in the Guildhall Square at 3.00pm again this Saturday to show our opposition to genocide and support for the right to take part in non-violent direct action”.
"Over the last week, we have seen even Trump admit that children (and adults) are starving to death in Gaza. Yet hundreds of people are being killed as they try to access food. When a genocide is in progress, it is our legal as well as moral right to protest and to do everything we can to end the genocide.
"People in Derry know better than anyone else in these islands what it is to have civil liberties suspended, that is why we will be back this Saturday afternoon – in Guildhall Square at 3.00pm – to continue this campaign."
