When Abdulwahab Sabbah was 16 he was arrested by the Israeli Army. Now, he is 53 with five children of his own and is working to build hope for young people growing up in Palestine today.
His own family, like many other Palestinians, are separated by the West Bank wall and and have different colour I.D cards which mean some of his children are not allowed to visit his house. As a youth worker at human rights charity CADFA and a Palestinian living under military occupation, Abdulwahab wants facilitate exchanges where Palestinians can share their experiences with people in Bristol.
The Abu Dis Friendship Association (CADFA), founded in London 20 years ago by Director Nandita Dowson, is now launching its latest project in Bristol and for the first time and Abdulwahab will be visiting the city tomorrow (Sunday, October 15). He said: “Our work is to try and reach people and raise awareness about human rights issues in Palestine.
