"Reclaiming the Discourse: Palestine, Justice and the Power of Truth“

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Gäste,

aufgrund der aktuellen Zuspitzung der Debatte haben wir entschieden, dass die für heute geplante Veranstaltung „Reclaiming the Discourse: Palestine, Justice and the Power of Truth“ nicht im Kühlhaus stattfinden kann.

Das Kühlhaus Berlin trägt als Gastgeber die Verantwortung für die Sicherheit aller Menschen, die unser Haus besuchen. Dies können wir auf Grund der angedrohten Eskalation der Sicherheitslage nicht gewährleisten.

Wir hoffen auf Ihr Verständnis.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Kühlhaus Berlin

 

neuer Ort: Junge Welt, Torstr. 6
