Torture, and the attempt to suppress the truth: We missed this report from Adameer, published earlier this year, on the continued use of torture in Israeli prisons, and the attempts by state to block its exposure. 73 Palestinians have died under interrogation since 1967.

Recording of Café Palestine Twelve

https://ukpalmhn.com/cafe-palestine/

The café came direct from Palestine Trauma Centre in Gaza. The therapy team there produced some videos films and set the agenda for what they wanted to say. The presentation looked at the way therapeutic methods have constantly adapted to unstable conditions. Life is fragmented. Each part struggles with a different threat to survival. In the therapy and in our meeting the team hope to bring some cohterence and manageability to the struggle.

The cafe started with live music from Gaza featuring students from the National Conservatory for Music: Ezzedine Khalifeh playing oud and singing, and Dana Al-Jaraf who played Oblivion by Piazzolla on the cello.
