Candle Vigil for Gaza

Thursday 8th January at 7pm - Bargate, Southampton

We would like to invite all those who are concerned about the Israeli state attacks on Gaza in what the United Nations describes as 'the imminent humanitarian catastrophe' to a Candle Lit Vigil at Bargate on Thursday 8th January at 7pm. We plan to observe a 30-minutes silent tribute to the dead, injured and bereaved people of Gaza after bell ringing.

Please bring candles, poems, reflections / cakes and hot drinks to share with any passersby and ourselves.

As well as anything else you think might be appropriate in keeping with a respectful and peaceful vigil.

This event will take place whatever developments occur in the situation in Gaza.

this event is for silent thoughtful silence - bring candles, warm clothes and no aggression please!!

This vigil was requested by Palestinian friends / contacts in Bethlehem to be held on this Thursday -
we want to send hope to Palestinians not news of rioting.

This ought to be a safe event for little children.

See you there - bring hot drinks for sharing if you can - if not others will.

Organisers are prepared to be arrested for this event - if need be, its still happening - no approval is required.
