Lebanon Photo Series: Refugees, Rubble and Resistance

VCNV volunteers report back from the war front

Voices for Creative Non-Violence (VCNV.org) - a team that includes Farah Mokhtareizadeh (USA), Caoimhe Butterly (IRL), Michael Birmingham (IRL) and Kathy Kelly (USA),

Hi friends: I am sending these pictures to you in hopes you will perhaps be able to send them off to others. I have diligently been working on writing up reports on all of the places we have visited in the last few days, but for now the captions to these photos will have to do.... Part One   Part Two   Part Three   to be continued...

Some may remember Farah Mokhtareizadeh from the second Pit Stop Ploughshares 2005 Mistrial - an American who traveled to Dublin to show some solidarity for the Pit Stops and check out the antiwar scene in Ireland. In January 2006 she went off to live in and explore Syria and blogged about her experiences (January / February / March).

Today, she is in Lebanon with Voices for Creative Non-Violence (VCNV.org) - part of a team that includes Caoimhe Butterly (IRL), Michael Birmingham (IRL) and Kathy Kelly (USA), who was called to give evidence in the third Pit Stop Ploughshares trial.

Farah has been kind to offer Indymedia.ie the chance to publish this first photo series of their travels....
