MPs call for solidarity with the Cairo Conference

Caroline Lucas MP:
This is a vital moment in the development of the Arab Spring. Our solidarity with those fighting for freedom is more important than ever. This the first international solidarity conference that has taken place and it is happening in the heart of the Arab revolution. I urge all who can be there to attend this important conference.

Jeremy Corbyn MP:
Uprisings across the whole region show a thirst for accountable Government and real independence. The West think they can co-opt the process and at the same time protect the oligarchies in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, and continue to allow Israel to continue its illegal occupation of the West Bank.The Cairo Conference gives a huge opportunity for the voices of unity and determination to achieve liberation.
