A COALITION of 22 bodies across Cymru supported demands today for the Wales Pension Partnership (WPP) to divest from companies complicit in genocide and apartheid in Palestine.

The broad coalition of Welsh campaigners from grassroots activists to trade unions, faith groups and political parties issued the urgent call for divestment from companies implicated in violations of international law and human rights abuses against Palestinians.

Palestine Solidarity Cymru’s Zahid Noor said: “Together, we are demanding divestment and ethical pensions that reflect our values of justice and sustainability.”
