COLONEL DESMOND TRAVERS is the main speaker at this public meeting,
which will discuss the current state of Gaza, Palestine, and what is
likely in the future. All three speakers have been to Gaza in recent
weeks and have a long history of engagement with the blockade and its
consequences.

Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, while ZOE LAWLOR participated in
the Freedom Waves to Gaza flotilla in November 2011 and visited Gaza
in January this year.
