Listen to the 59th edition of Free City Radio, for this episode we hear perspectives and reflections from human rights activists around the world on the current state of the global solidarity movement supporting the Palestinian struggle for freedom and liberation. In the podcast we hear from : Emmanuel Dror, BDS France. Samir Eskanda, Palestinian musician. Mostafa Henaway, Labour for Palestine, Academics for Palestine. Michael Lynk, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Occupied Territories, Palestine. Jessie Stein, Musicians for Palestine. These presentations were shared within the context of an ongoing series of webinars co-presented by Free City Radio and Alternatives, looking at human rights around the world, the corresponding social movements which are struggling for justice and the ways that activist movements connect on local and global levels. In the context of the pandemic this series of conversations aims to also highlight the ways that social movements globally are responding to the crisis of the pandemic and how community activism has played an essential role in supporting communities struggling to survive the pandemic in the face of pre-existing systemic oppression, exclusion and racism. Free City Radio is hosted by Stefan @spirodon Christoff.
