A meeting held at the Friends Meeting House in Sheffield organised by the Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign, to hear from two protesters who were at the demonstrations against the Israeli War Crimes in Gaza at the turn of the year who witnessed the brutal and racist actions of the police and subsequent disproportionate sentences handed down by a racist judge to the predominantly dark skinned protesters who were arrested at the protest.

These two protesters were so shocked by the discriminatory, islamophobic attitudes of the British 'Justice' system that they are working with the Gaza Demonstrators Support Campaign to bring peoples attention to the plight of the jailed protesters and are campaigning in their support.
