Emergency rally to demand action for UK hunger strikers

On December 22, 2025, activists gathered in front of the British Consulate in “Vancouver” to stand in global solidarity with Palestine Action hunger strikers imprisoned in Britain. Our rally was a response to the urgent and escalating health crisis faced by these political prisoners.

We delivered a letter to the Consulate demanding immediate action from the British government, and publicly read out the prisoners’ five demands:
· An end to state censorship
· Immediate bail
· Fair trials
· Deproscription of Palestine Action
· Shutting down Elbit Systems

⏱️Starting from 12 pm. Drop by throughout the day.

Join us for every journalist killed, every Palestinian child buried without headlines, and every missing and murdered Indigenous woman Canada’s media erases.

Free Georges Abdallah

Vancouver activists joined the international movement demanding that the French government free Georges Abdallah. They held a picket on July 14 outside the French consulate to highlight this demand.

After 40 years of unjust imprisonment, French authorities are once again delaying justice for Lebanese communist revolutionary Georges Abdallah!

His next court hearing is July 17 but the French state has repeatedly postponed his release, despite a judge already ordering his freedom in November 2024.
