• Father Arafat

  Dear friends,

  An expression of condolences for the passing of the Father of Palestine. Like all fathers, he got it wrong sometimes, but he enabled the Palestine people to keep their identity over the last 50 yrs. when it could have been destroyed.You have another reason now to work for the return and liberation of the Palestinian people - to see Jasser Arafat's dream come true, to see all that he worked for become a reality. He is merely resting for a time. He still lives as long as Palestinians live. May God bless you and the Palestinian people everywhere, Anne CandlinAnne H.Candlin , One World Centre

  My Dear Friends

  I am unable to attend any of the events in London in memory of President Arafat.  However, I could not let the occasion of his passing go by without expressing my great sadness at the news of his death and my condolences to his family - the Palestinian people.  I will remember him as a tireless campaigner for Palestinian freedom and for peace with justice. 

  I had the honour to meet President Arafat in Ramallah in March 2002, when I was part of a national delegation from the trade union UNISON, and remember how he received us with great warmth.  He spent over an hour and a half discussing the Palestinian cause, the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the peace process.  Throughout, he showed great interest in our views and questions and he kept emphasising the importance of international solidarity with the Palestinian people.  I just hope what little we were able to do when we returned contributed  to the struggle in a way he would have appreciated.  Once again please accept my deepest sympathy.
