Iranian Refugee Sets Fire to Himself

paster, 05-09-2003 23:00

Israfil Shiri has died after five days of terrible suffering in Wythenshawe Hospital Burns Unit Manchester.

On Thursday 27th August Israfil Shiri, a destitute young Iranian man poured petrol over his body and set fire to himself in the offices of Refugee Action in Manchester. He suffered burns to 80% of his body. He had told his friends he would do it to prove that this government cares more about animals than people fleeing torture and persecution.

"If they cut off all my benefits, prevent me from working and make me homeless, I too will commit suicide". These were the words of another Iranian asylum seeker who, along with 30 other people, attended a meeting on Monday to discuss last Thursday's tragedy and how we can prevent it from happening again.

Israfil Shiri, 30, who has been on life support at Wythenshawe Hospital Burns Unit following the suicide attempt at the Manchester offices of Refugee Action last week, died early on the morning of the third September.

Manchester Protests Against the West Bank Wall

Chris Edwards, 13-07-2003 20:06

A cardboard "West Bank Wall" was build in Manchester to graphically symbolise and illustrate what is happening in occupied Palestine.

On 12th July 2003, the Palestinian solidarity movement in Manchester, UK mounted a protest against the West Bank Wall which the Israeli's are building. The wall is an attempt to contain the Palestinian resistance.

To graphically illustrate the monstrous nature of this crime, a wall made from cardboard boxes was built outside Manchester Town Hall. The wall was decorated with posters, photographs and painted slogans.

A rally was held in front of the wall and finally the cardboard was demolished by the protestors to provide a visual representation of what needs to be done with the real West Bank Wall. Read more | 4 comments >>
