#WhoIsMissing? Campaign in solidarity with Palestine delegation banned from COP26
Glasgow (QNN)- BDS and anti-apartheid groups launched a Twitter hashtag, #WhoIsMissing? to highlight the exclusion and isolation of Palestinian voices from dialogue on climate change after the Palestine delegation to the COP26 Summit got their visas refused.
The entire delegation for the Palestinian civil society had their visas refused from attending the COP26 Summit in Glasgow. Those whose visas were refused were four: Abeer, Mahmoud, Manal, and Jamal.
In addition to the campaign on social media, activists projected Palestinian delegates in George Square.

Israel's apartheid policies over Indigenous Palestinians means those most affected by the climate chaos were prevented from travelling to #COP26.

We introduce you to some of the people who got their visas refused for #COP26
There can be no meaningful #COP26 when people are excluded from the conversation – especially the ones impacted the most by climate chaos
