ABERDEEN will host a “festival of solidarity” with the people of Palestine this weekend, beginning tomorrow.

From marches and demonstrations of support to pickets of companies with links to Israel such as Barclays bank, the city has seen consistent campaigning activity throughout the five-month Israeli onslaught on the people of Gaza.

The Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), alongside other local activists, has now launched Viva Palestina, Aberdeen’s first festival of Palestine.
