Notes: The October 2006 edition of No One Is Illegal Radio focuses on the struggles of queer and LGBT people in the Middle East, as well as efforts to launch a boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel.

On this month's show, you will hear from:
-> RASHA MOUMNEH of Helem; Helem is a LGBT group based in Beirut, Lebanon. (4:30)
-> NAY of Aswat in Palestine; Aswat is a Palestinian Lesbian group. (24:05)

Both Rasha and Nay were speakers at "Out Against the Occupation" events in Montreal. Out Against the Occupation is a Montreal-based queer and LGBT response to the recent Israeli aggression against Lebanon and the ongoing occupation of Palestine.

Also, we hear from:
-> RAFEEF ZIADAH, of the Sumoud Political Prisoner Solidarity Group and the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA) in Toronto (22:26)

Rafeef speaks at the opening of the "Boycotting Israeli Apartheid: The Struggle
Continues" conference (October 6-8 in Toronto) dedicated to promoting the growing anti-apartheid movement in Palestine and abroad through a comprehensive boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign targeting Israeli apartheid.
