SOLIDARITY campaigners launched a petition today calling on Cardiff City Council to divest from companies complicit in criminal activity against Palestinians.
Cardiff Palestinian Solidarity Campaigners claimed the council’s pension fund invests £111 million in companies actively linked to Israel’s war against Palestinians and its illegal occupation of Palestinian land in Gaza and The West Bank.
PSC Cardiff said the objective was to encourage those companies to cut their support for the apartheid Israel regime and its 14-month-long genocidal war.
“Now, everyone living or working in Cardiff can express their view by signing the petition that will be put before city councillors in January for them to act in a simple but effective way,” a spokesperson said.
The campaigners said that Cardiff Council can make a simple switch of the 3.5 per cent of its total pension fund pot to companies not on the list of those complicit with the Israeli regime.
Cardiff Council was asked to comment.
