24-25 September – Brussels
A few weeks ago, members of the Russell
Tribunal on Palestine, outraged by Israel’s terrible assault on Gaza and
its population, decided to start working on an extraordinary session of
the Tribunal that will look into Israel’s Crimes (including War Crimes,
Crimes against Humanity and the Crime of Genocide) during the still
ongoing “Operation Protective Edge” as well as third States complicity.
During this session, that will take place on one day in Brussels on 24th
September, our jury, so far composed of Michael Mansfield QC, John
Dugard, Vandana Shiva, Christiane Hessel, Richard Falk, Ahdaf Soueif,
Ken Loach, Paul Laverty, Roger Waters, Ronnie Kasrils, Radhia Nasraoui
and Miguel Angel Estrella will listen to testimonies from Paul Behrens,
Desmond Travers, Pierre Barbancey (TBC), Max Blumenthal, Eran Efrati,
Mads Gilbert, Mohammed Abou-Arab, Paul Mason, Martin Lejeune, Mohammed
Omer, Raji Sourani, Ashraf Mashharawi, Ivan Karakashian, Agnes Bertrand
and Michael Deas.
The jury will give its findings on 25th
September in the morning during an international press conference at
the International Press Center (IPC, Brussels). In the afternoon, the
Jury will be received at the European parliament and address a message
to the UN General Assembly for its reopening.

Do mention if you are coming as a journalist and would like to record parts of the session.
This tribunal is your tribunal, and we need
your support to make it happen. The total budget for this session is 50
000 euros. We are working under an exceptionally tight deadline and
raising this amount of money is going to be an uphill struggle. If you
feel like contributing, or know people that might be able to, please
contact us, or check our “support us” on www.russelltribunalonpalestine.com
