TRADE UNIONISTS voiced their solidarity with women journalists in Gaza today during the final day of the TUC Women’s Conference.

In a motion, the conference condemned the “atrocities breaching international law” in Palestine and backed calls for an independent investigation into the attacks and killings of journalists.

Mariam Elsayeh of the National Union of Journalists praised the solidarity from Britain for Palestinian unionists and activists, giving them the “strength to stand firm” against intimidation.
