As part of her speaking tour around Ireland, Caoimhe Butterly will be doing a talk in Belfast on Tuesday 11th December at 7pm in St Mary's College, Falls Road.
The talk, organised by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign in Belfast, will also feature Colm Bryce of the Raytheon 9 as a guest speaker.
Caoimhe Butterly has been working in and around the Middle East for a number of years.
Her eye-witness accounts are invaluable for most of us who have to make do with what we are being fed by the mainstream print and electronic media.
As Lebanon enters a period of political instability - a dangerous vacuum with no President and no political solution/compromise in sight.
As Palestinians living in a variety of refugee camps in Lebanon look anxiously at Annapolis and Nablus and wonder about their short and long term future.
As those living and exiled recently from Nahr-el Bared return cautiously to the mayhem left behind by the Lebanese Army and the insurgents
A number of activists have come together to support her tour and the meetings
The IPSC, Anti-war Ireland, the Irish Anti-War Movement, the Galway Alliance Against the War, the Derry Anti-War Alliance and the Raytheon 9, Amnesty and a number of individuals are supporting the tour.
