Francesca Albanese to contribute to Corbyn 'Gaza tribunal'

The UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine Francesca Albanese will take part in a tribunal to determine the extent of the UK's complicity in the genocide in Gaza.

Organised by former Labour party leader and now independent MP Jeremy Corbyn, the two-day unofficial event will feature surviving Palestinian victims of Israeli atrocities, as well as experts in international law.

Albanese's involvement was confirmed by Corbyn during an appearance by the veteran politician at a fringe event at the Edinburgh festival on Saturday. 

The UN special rapporteur will be asked for comment on the use of RAF bases in Cyprus to help Israel's military.
