Inspired by the successes of a similar fund during the South African anti-apartheid movement, all proceeds support an unprecedented legal aid fund to defend Palestinian rights through unique legal challenges about war crimes, home demolitions, settlements, East Jerusalem and Gaza.

When Israeli military commandos attacked humanitarian activists on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in May, the issue became a legal one, bringing the issue of the illegal siege of Gaza before national and international courts. The generosity of our supporters enabled victims of the attacks to receive legal representation, exploring every opportunity for genuine accountability for the war crimes committed.

Join us for an evening of comedy, speech, music and a fundraising auction with Michael Mansfield QC (patron), Mark Thomas (comedian), Michel Massih QC, Courtenay Griffith QC, barrister Mary Nazzal-Batayneh and friends, and help provide a practical response to the human rights and humanitarian crisis in Palestine.
