The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

The verdict announcement session will be held this Thursday May 3rd, at 11:00, in the Nazareth Magistrate`s Court. If convicted, the time she spent in house arrest will not be offset from the sentence (!!!); Dareen may be sent to prison for a prolonged period of time. Our presence in court is our way of supporting Dareen in these critical days for her when she fights for her freedom and to send a clear message to the prosecution and judges against political persecution and the repression of freedom of speech, protest and art. We are organizing to travel to Nazareth together (please contact us if you have available places): From Haifa: Yoav Bar 054-4790989 From Tel Aviv: Alma Katz 054-4330288 Links to the latest articles in this section Emergency demonstrations throughout Israel: Stop the war!
