We're really pleased to see that Ahmed Masoud will be at the festival. We know Ahmed from the time he came to give a talk in Hastings a few years ago about his life in Gaza.

"Ahmed is a writer, poet and director who grew up in Palestine and moved to the UK in 2002. He is the author of the acclaimed novels Vanished - The Mysterious Disappearance of Mustafa Ouda and Come What May. He has written many widely-praised theatre and radio dramas. Ahmed is the founder of Al Zaytouna Dance Theatre where he wrote and directed many productions with subsequent tours in the UK and Europe. After finishing his PhD research, Ahmed published many journals and articles including a chapter in the Britain and Muslim World: A Historical Perspective. He certainly has a lot to talk about!" Ticket information.

Friday 2 October 6pm. The Printworks, Hastings. Hastings Jews for Justice (HJJ) will be serving up a traditional four course 'shabbat' meal that is kosher, vegan and halal, alongside some first class local entertainment.

The event will raise funds to help support a young poet and trainee nurse Hala Mdukh in Gaza. Shelley Feldman of HJJ: 'Oftentimes, it feels like we can do so little, for the many many people suffering in Gaza, and worldwide, but, as it is written, "to save one life, is to save the entire world" so we are focusing, for this event, on one woman, Hala Mdukh, and this feels entirely right. We hope you will join us.'

Tickets for the Friday Night Fundraiser can be bought here at £32 per person. Article on the Fundraiser in the Hastings Observer.

Support the PSC e-action: Write to the Foreign Secretary to demand the release of Dr Abu Safiya. The PSC letter also refers to the 9,000+ Palestinians who are currently imprisoned by Israel in the most horrific conditions imaginable and subjected to beatings, torture, rotten food and unsanitary environments. "The British government must take urgent action to hold Israel accountable for these crimes by implementing comprehensive sanctions now."
