This LTRC condemns the recent attack on the ships carrying humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.

Haiti humanitarian lawyer Mario Joseph was a guest speaker invited to the UK to appear at various venues, including the RMT Black and Ethnic Minority Committee. He was refused entry into the UK for the most obscure of reasons.
