Gaza Freedom Flotilla in Brighton
Schedule of events 5-8 June 2018

See coverage of ‘Freedom’ in Brighton by the Brighton Argus.

We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the boat “Freedom” in Brighton next week. “Freedom” is one of four boats sailing from Scandinavia to Gaza, with a crew of activists bringing a message of solidarity to the besieged people of Gaza, and a message to the British government that its support for the 11-year illegal blockade of Gaza must end.

Of course there is a particular significance to this flotilla, in the light of the dreadful events in Gaza over the past few months.

The boat’s stop in Brighton is attracting widespread media interest, and we’ve received promises of help and support from activists across the country, as well as from politicians, artists and other public figures. We’re planning a range of activities to showcase the boat and its crew while they’re here, and to amplify their message of solidarity and resistance. 

The best way to keep up-to-date is to visit our website.
