On Wednesday March 20th 2013, a public meeting will take place at the House of Lords, London, hosted by Baroness Jenny Tonge, who writes;
‘I urge all the democratic peoples of Europe and the USA to call for justice for these men and to take steps to force the Israeli authorities to release and return the MP’s, who it must be emphasised, have neither committed nor been charged with any criminal act,’ she says.
The four politicians named in the report, are currently either under administrative detention in Israeli prisons, or living in forced exile in Ramallah, West Bank.
