If you're in Sydney, please attend this important event on Monday (August 4th) as we build on our success in the court battle with Shurat HaDin and spread the call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions. Never has it been more urgent to end the impunity for Israeli militarism and lawlessness.

APAN works with MPs and officials, from both government and opposition, in Canberra, to rally support in Australia for Palestinian rights and freedoms.
