Debate on Rafah in European Parliament 27th October 15.00

apologies for lack of news this week - I've been away JH.

Before catching up with all other details, this seems extremely important to post, just received from Simona Revelli, College of Psychoanalysts UK, thank you Simona: 

CAMPAIGN FOR THE LIBERATION OF SYRIAN PSYCHOANALYST RAFAH NACHED

Rafah Nached's case will be debated by the European Parliament on 27th October, at 15:00. Following the debate (at 16:00) the EP will vote on a resolution (see http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/file.jsp?id=5966392 ). This is a very important development!

How could you influence the outcome?

You could:


1. Urgently write to your MEPs (by 25th October if poss). Your letter could highlight the circumstances and your objections, and should ask MEPs to vote for a resolution that i) condemns the Syrian regime for crimes against humanity, and ii) demands the immediate release of Rafah. The following link will let you post online the same letter to all your MEPs: http://www.writetothem.com/?keyword=MEPS&creativeid=1424683179&gclid=CIrH3L6j_KsCFUNO4QodvhOKjg

2. Demonstrate outside the European Parliament in Strasbourg during the debate and vote.

3. Urgently circulate this announcement as widely as possible.

4. Ask for this announcement to be urgently posted on the website of your organisation.

We think that the debate and voting will be shown live on EbS+ Channel (part of European Commission Audiovisual Services):
