Sabeel's Alternative Assembly
Speaking Truth, Seeking Justice

21-24 February, 2001

Over 200 international activists will be in Palestine, February 21-24, 2001 to take part in Sabeel's Alternative Assembly "Speaking Truth, Seeking Justice". They will hear updates on the current situation, visit and stand in solidarity with Palestinians in the West Bank, and witness the effects of the occupation. Aware that many others are unable to attend due to the political instability in the country and other constraints, Sabeel is making the following assembly presentations available online, with the help of Father Labib Kobti and Al-Bushra online.
