War Resisters' Stories

The deadline for registering for our conference in South Africa has been extended – to 31 May. We've already had activists from all over the world – including 20 African countries – register for the conference, but it would be great to see you there too! For more information /node/23121.

The latest WRI appeal – written by Nozizwe Madlada-Routledge from South Africa - is now available in English, Spanish, French, and German on the WRI website:  /SouthAfricaAppeal. In her appeal, Nonzizwe focused on the fast-approaching conference in South Africa, which will be held in the town hall in Cape Town.

15th May was International Conscientious Objection Day, marked around the world as a day to celebrate those who have and those who continue to resist war, especially by refusing to be part of military structures. In Britain this year we were inspired by stories of conscientious objectors in the 1914-18 war. For more information, see /15May2014
