London, 18/01/2014. Today, Queer Strike, Global Women's Strike, Woman of Colour and No to Pinkwashing held a demonstration outside the Heaven Club in Villiers Street against the Gay Star Beach Party LGBTQ tourism event. From the Global Women's Strike: <<The Israeli Ministry of Tourism is participating, promoting Israel as a gay tourist destination while Palestinian people, queer and straight, are being killed, tortured and imprisoned under Israeli occupation and apartheid. See this additional article where Israel is given particular prominence in the event. We are also protesting against Israel's racist treatment of African people - see photos of 30,000 African asylum seekers and refugees protesting in Tel Aviv last week demanding that all African refugees imprisoned in Israeli prisons and detention centres be freed and for recognition of their rights as asylum seekers and refugees>>.
