Riccardo Carrara, activist of the SCI, the International Civil Service, participated at the conference. “We tried to find new solutions to end the apartheid in Palestine”. One of the most interesting interventions was presented by Zico Tamela. Mr. Tamela, International Officer of the South-african Transport and Allied Workers Union, drow a parallel between the history of Palestine and South-Africa.
