HOPI has therefore organised a series of events in Dublin from 13-15 November to draw attention to the situation and to build support for the campaign. We will have two important speakers attending: Yassamine Mather, leading Iranian political activist who is in touch with students and other oppositional groups in Iran Moshe Machover, Israeli socialist and opponent of the Israel government with a long history in the anti-Zionist movement. read full story / add a comment
