Vigil for Palestine
September 20, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Masahat, Palestinakomiteen i Oslo og Aksjonsgruppa for Palestina inviterer aktivister og støttespillere av Palestina til å delta i en vigil, en samling hvor deltakerne møtes for å ære og minnes ofrene gjennom stillhet, bønner, taler og ved å tenne lys. Denne protestvigilien er en anledning til å uttrykke sorg og protest i en rolig og reflekterende atmosfære, og den er planlagt foran Stortinget for å dele vårt sinne.
Program
- Åpningstale: Kari Veiteberg, Biskop i Oslo
- Politisk tale: Line Khateeb, Leder av Palestinakomiteen i Norge
- Et minutts stillhet
- Visning av Videos for Palestine på stortingsveggen av Video Tract for Palestine Collective, Mira Adoumie, Islam Shabana
- Diktopplesning av Bendik Vada, Ninthu Paramalingam og Mahmoud Beshtawy
- Sørgekarneval “Songs of Anemone” av Farah Azrak.
We are approaching one year of a perpetrated genocide in Gaza with no immediate ceasefire in sight and with mounting threats that a regional war would break out. We are angry and resentful of our impotent politicians and institutions who have so far not stopped the sale of arms to the Zionist entity or took any concrete measure to divest from the Israeli settler regime, which we view as complicity with genocide and with any escalations into a regional war taking place. We invite activists and Palestine supporters to join us in a nightly vigil to grieve our Palestinian martyrs, the incarceration and torture of Palestinian children, women and men, and the massive destruction and erasure of Palestinian lives, ecologies and culture. This protest vigil is for us to share our anger and grief in front of the Parliament. This vigil will showcase solidarity with Palestine through artistic commissioned works by Norwegian, Arab and Palestinian cultural practitioners.
