Newport Palestine Solidarity Campaign to stage protest at upcoming Full Council meeting

Newport Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) will stage a protest at the upcoming Full Council meeting of Newport City Council, urging the Council to support calls for divestment from the Greater Gwent Pension Fund. The fund is allegedly invested in companies complicit in the ongoing conflict and catastrophic loss of life in Gaza, as well as the on-going dispossession and apartheid of Palestinians in the West Bank.

As part of the protest, Newport PSC will unveil the powerful Naming the Dead banner. This 200-meter-long banner bears the names of over 20,000 civilians who have tragically lost their lives in Gaza, serving as a powerful reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Organisers have said: “We call on all concerned citizens and local representatives to join us in standing against the injustices faced by the Palestinian people and to demand ethical investment from our public funds.”
