Press Conference
📅 Date: June 16, 2025 🕙 Time: 10:00 AM 📍 Location: House of Compassion, Brussels
Dear friends, journalists, and partners,
We are pleased to invite you to a press conference, marking the launch of our five-day hunger strike “Hunger for Justice in Palestine”, organized by House of Compassion and the Palestinian Refugees for Dignity collective. This initiative, starting on 16 June, builds upon the movements “Hunger Strike for Justice in Palestine” and “Faim de Justice pour la Palestine”.
We are honored to have Ludo De Brabander as our keynote speaker for joining us in the launch of this action. A peace activist and expert in geopolitical dynamics, he Ludo has consistently advocated for Palestinian rights and the end of violence.
We will also welcome:
- Dominique Willaert, writer and social activist.Â
who He recently co-organized a solidarity evening for Gaza, calling for urgent humanitarian aid and sanctions against human rights violations. - Dalila Hermans, journalist and author, who signed an open letter urging Belgium to take concrete measures against the blockade and violence in Palestine.
Other guests will further enrich the discussion.
The press conference will also mark the official launch of Alain De Clerck’s art installation, whose work carries a strong engaged and participatory dimension.
- “Recognize Palestine”, an artistic action where a giant 280 m² Palestinian flag was unfurled at the Schuman roundabout in Brussels, symbolizing the voice of 900,000 petition signers advocating for Palestinian recognition.
- “The Peace Gate”, an interactive sculpture where the Israeli and Palestinian flags fly together when two people shake hands above a green line, illustrating a gesture of reconciliation and dialogue.
This installation, visible throughout the entire fasting action, will provide a space for reflection and awareness, fully resonating with our mobilization.
The launch event will be a chance to meet the hunger strikers and to learn  the key aspects of the week’s program, including meetings, awareness events, and actions.
We are very much looking forward to meeting you and to engaging in dialogue, expressing support, and amplifying this call for justice.
