Campaigning for Conscientious Objection to Military Service
The webinar series Campaigning for Conscientious Objection to Military Service continue with a new event on 30th March (4pm BST, 5pm CEST, 6pm Cyprus and Israel).
On this webinar, we will be focusing on public awareness: what strategies activists are using to reach out youth and general public to inform them about conscientious objection.
On 30th March, we will have three activists from Cyprus, Israel and Finland presenting their campaigns. Speakers will include:
- Amnon Brownfield Stein, International Solidarity Coordinator, Mesarvot (Solidarity network of political conscientious objectors in Israel)
- Murat Kanatli, Activist, Initiative for Conscientious Objection in Cyprus
- Esa Noresvuo, Organizational Coordinator, The Union of Conscientious Objectors, Finland (AKL)
Mesarvot, AKL and Initiative for Conscientious Objection in Cyprus have been organising inspiring campaigns supporting conscientious objectors for many years in Israel, Finland and Cyprus (both North and South) respectively.
Find the stories of a number of conscientious objectors supported by Mesarvot in Israel here. Find a previous campaign organised by Initiative for Conscientious Objection in Cyprus in support of a conscientious objector in Northern Cyprus here. Find information on AKL’s extensive work on conscientious objection here.
