Vivien Langford brings us recordings from the Palestinian Land Day rally at Town Hall Square in Sydney, featuring speeches from Susan Higginson and Josh Lees, and from Palestinian Prisoners' Day at Hyde Park in Sydney, featuring a speech from Mona.
Susan Higginson, Greens MP in NSW Parliament, tells crowd: 'You are our humanity'.
Josh Lees from Palestine Action Group recounted the history of Palestinian Land Day since 1976, describing the barbaric warfare where the targeting of medical staff, journalists and civilians is normalised.
