Sinn Féin National Chairperson Declan Kearney MLA is travelling to Johannesburg, South Africa to address a ‘Global Anti-Apartheid Conference on Palestine’, taking place between 10-12 May 2024.

The conference is set to be opened by President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa and attended by Palestinian representatives and leaders representing political parties and organisations from across the world.  

Speaking ahead of the conference, the party’s National Chairperson said:

“The future of Palestine demands that the world finally acts decisively in support of the Palestinian people’s fundamental national and human rights.

“This conference will focus on developing an organised, global movement to dismantle Israel’s systems of oppression, occupation and apartheid in Palestine.  

“The seven-month genocidal onslaught against the people of Gaza demonstrates the pressing need for coordinated action.

“We must bring an end to Israel’s apartheid systems and help to deliver peace, justice and freedom for Palestine and its people.”
