Where the Rubber Bullets meet the Road Map

What: Presentation by Melissa Mullan, ISM Vancouver activist just 
returned from Palestine

Where: Britannia Community Centre, 1661 Napier Street, Vancouver (under 
the Library)
How much: Free admission, donations accepted

Meet and hear from Melissa Mullan, an International Solidarity Movement 
(ISM Vancouver) activist who returned just three weeks ago from Occupied 
Palestine. She will speak about her experiences in Palestine and the 
implementation of the so-called "Road Map".  Her talk will be followed by 
the Vancouver premier of the new ISM video "Shebab Dayia" (Lost Youth).

Melissa was with the ISM for one month in the West Bank city of Nablus 
where she witnessed the oppression and brutality of the illegal Israeli 
occupation.  While in Nablus Melissa was involved in: roadblock removals, 
protecting houses slated for demolition, and documenting Israeli Army 
violence toward civilians.  Melissa also saw first-hand the on-the-ground 
reality of the "Road Map" which has not improved life for Palestinians in 
the West Bank.  She will share her experiences from Palestine and answer 
questions.

"Shebab Dayia" (Lost Youth) is a video of compelling front-line footage 
shot by ISM activists working in Nablus, Jenin and Rafah between August 
2002 and March 2003.  The film shows the everyday situation of 
Palestinians living under occupation, disturbing images that do not often 
make the evening news.

So please join us this Sunday, July 20th 2:00-5:00 at the Britannia 
Community Centre to welcome Melissa back to Vancouver, hear her shocking 
eyewitness accounts of Palestine, and see the damning evidence on the 
latest ISM video. The event will be held in Britannia's Learning Resource 
Centre (under the Library, just follow the signs).
