Councillor Claire Hunt Gives talk at 30th anniversary of remembering srebrenica - Worthing Green Party Goring Councillor Claire Hunt speaks about the importance of recognising and preventing genocide as she marks the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide.

Honoured to speak at this event and to stress that our government needs to learn from Srebrenica, name the ongoing process of genocide in Gaza and end all UK arms sales to Israel. Silence and inaction is complicity
