Ken Loach and Ricky Tomlinson show MAP support

15 September 2009

Statement from film director Ken Loach and actor Ricky Tomlinson

"The expulsion of the Palestinians from their homes and their continued violent oppression is one of the great tragedies of these times. Anyone who reads the news from Gaza knows of their suffering: houses, schools, hospitals - and bodies - shattered. Organisations like Medical Aid for Palestinians need our absolute support, alongside political demands for an end to the illegal occupation of the Palestinian lands".
