DEMAND: Palestine activists in Newport have demanded organisers of the annual Newport Rising festival to boycott politicians who have failed to support the values of the Chartist movement.

Newport Palestine Solidarity Campaign urged the organisers to exclude politicians from Saturday’s festival and march who have not taken a clear stance against modern oppression.

They include those not speaking out against apartheid in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
