SUMMARY:First Picture Documentary Film Screening Tour
DESCRIPTION:Screenings and Q&A with director in Glasgow\, Edinburgh\, Perth\, Aberdeen\, Forres and Ardrishaig. \nWelcome to the FIRST PICTURE DOCUMENTARY FILM SCREENING event. \nThis is a national tour throughout Scotland with the following dates and locations: \n\nFriday\, 18th April @7pm – CCA\, Glasgow.\nWednesday\, 23rd April @ 7pm – St Augustines\, Edinburgh\nThursday\, 24th April @ 7pm – ESOL\, Perth\nTuesday\, 29th April @7pm – Quaker Meeting Hall\, Aberdeen\nWednesday\, 30th April @ 7pm – The Courtroom\, Forres\nTuesday\, 6th May @ 6pm – Ardrishaig Village Hall\, Ardrishaig\n\nPalestinian Prisoner’s Day is marked each year on the 17th of April\, and the situation for prisoners in Israel’s torture jails has never been more urgent\, as we see systematic physical\, sexual & emotional abuse as well as the rising death toll of detainees\, including the first child. \nThis year\, Scottish PSC will screen the documentary ‘First Picture’ (2006) by Akram Al-Ashqar\, who is doing his PhD in film at the University of Glasgow\, at locations across Scotland. Akram will join us for Q&A sessions following the film. \nFirst Picture (2006) tells the story of a Palestinian child born in one of the Israeli Occupations prisons. He is released without his mother after nearly 3 years in prison. Set in Tulkarm Camp for Palestinian refugees\, the film follows this child’s life as he is reunited with the rest of his family and formally imprisoned friends of his mother. \nAt the time of writing\, there are 9500 political prisoners\, including 350 child prisoners. Walid Ahmad was one of those children and was killed in March of this year\, following 6 months of detention without charge. He was just 17 years old. His body\, as is policy of the occupying forces\, has been withheld from his family. \nJoin us as we discuss the film\, the current situation for Palestinian prisoners & what we can do in Scotland to build effective solidarity. \nBook your ticket here \n

SUMMARY:No One Left Behind: Mick Napier on trial
DESCRIPTION:Join us on the steps of Glasgow Sheriff Court on 7th May at 9 am \nWhat’s Happening? \nOn Wednesday\, 7th May\, two separate trials have been merged to be dealt with together in Court 13. One alleges threatening and abusive behaviour inside the Barclays branch on Argyle Street during our\nprotest against its financing of genocide. The other charge is of religious hatred and excessive noise\, eight days later (6 October) outside Kelvingrove Art Gallery. \nWhy We’re Here \n\nBarclays Trial (Argyle Street): all protestors stood facing away from branch staff at all times\,\nmaking clear our anger was directed at Barclays’ profiteering from genocide\, not at individual\nemployees. It will be difficult to sustain a charge of threatening and abusive behaviour when the\naccused turn their backs on the victim throughout!\nKelvingrove Trial: Charges of “religious hatred” stem from complaints by Glasgow Friends of\nIsrael – a group notorious for manifestations of extreme racism over a long period of time\,\nincluding calls to “euthanise” Palestinians and welcoming the 2019 White supremacist massacre\nof 51 Muslims in New Zealand mosques. Our protest was against an event organised by advocates and partners of the genocidal Israeli regime.\n\nThese absurd charges echo two decades of legal harassment\, ranging from racial hatred and assault\nallegations to being stopped for “driving too slowly”—and follow convictions for organising unauthorised\ndemonstrations\, including two Covid-regulation breach convictions the same week as drunken\nDowning Street parties. \nWhat Next? \n\n9am – 10am: Rally on the courthouse steps – hear brief speeches\, connect with fellow campaigners\,\nand show solidarity.\n10am: Head into Court 13 to show support for the accused and opposition to the wave of repression\nof those opposing Israeli genocide.\n\nWhat’s at Stake? \n\nSetting yet another dangerous precedent for criminalising protest against genocide and the use of religious aggravation charges to deter opposition to the Israeli genocide.\nPermitting “hate-speech” charges to be used against vocal opponents of Israeli government\npolicy.\nFurther threats under the Terrorism Act and fresh Barclays-related racial-hatred charges loom.\n\nHow You Can Help \n\nBe There – Your presence amplifies our message: opposing genocide is not a crime.\nSpread the Word – Share this invitation on social media and in your networks.\nDonate – Legal costs are mounting; every contribution helps us fight back.\nStay Informed – Follow updates on the website www.scottishpsc.org.uk\n\nSolidarity Now – Resistance Always \nYour support on 7 May will send a clear message: when they target one of us\, they target all of us\, and we’ll stand together\, leaving no one behind. \nJoin Us on the Steps of Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday 7 May at 9:00 AM

SUMMARY:EGGEC NAKBA Demo
DESCRIPTION:Assemble at the Foot of the Mound EH2 2EL and march to Scottish Parliament EH99 1SP \nIn May 1948\, 77 years ago\, 750\,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes through violence and force by Israel. This was ethnic cleansing. This period is referred to as aitill\, or the Nakba\, meaning catastrophe in Arabic. On Monday\, just two days ago\, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Gaza’s more than two million people “will be moved” in a new ground offensive that will involve Israeli troops holding on to seized territory\, establishing a “sustained presence” in Gaza.” \n19 months of brutal murder\, 60 days of a complete blockade on every single piece of food and medicine\, and now plans announced for a Nakba of an even greater scale. What word can describe something bigger than a catastrophe? \nAnd all we get from our politicians are platitudes while they give taxpayer money to Iz-reel. Enough is enough. \nJoin us 17 May\, 2025 in Edinburgh. \nSpecial guest speakers will include Mustafa Barghouti\, Palestinian physician and politician and Neil Barnes\, who will speak on the intersections of sports and Palestine in Scotland.
