"They Cannot Extinguish the Moon": Political Prisoners from South Asia to Palestine teach-in
Join us for the second teach-in hosted by the South Asians for Palestine coalition, focusing on political prisoners from South Asia to Palestine, to discuss how their resistance to settler colonialism and state violence are criminalised, and how we in Britain can challenge attempts to suppress our support of their struggles.
Our speakers will draw together the role of Political Prisoners in occupied Palestine to the broader Palestinian liberation struggle, along with struggles of prisoners in present-day Kashmir, Pakistan and India.
The South Asians for Palestine coalition draws together South Asian-led groups in Britain in solidarity with the Palestine national liberation struggle, and is grounded in the principles of anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, anti-Zionism and anti-capitalism.
The coalition seeks to build on support for the Palestinian national liberation among South Asian-heritage communities in Britain, including by identifying and intervening in complicity between British-based South Asian organisations, and South Asian governments, with Israeli settler colonialism and apartheid.
