International Conscientious Objectors' Day - May 15th

#Remembering all those who have refused to bear #arms and participate in #war, throughout #history and today.

Every year on May 15th we #remember those who have established and are maintaining the right to refuse to kill, both in the past and today. Hundreds of people across the world are imprisoned or forced to flee their home countries for refusing to join the armed forces. On May 15th we stand in #solidarity with them, as well as celebrating the #memory of all those throughout history who have resisted #conscription.

Due to Coronavirus restrictions this year's National Ceremony will be online, with a live stream from Tavistock Square where the event usually takes place. Simply visit this page at 4.30pm on Saturday 15th May to watch the live stream.

The event will be streamed live via Youtube on this page. There is no need to register in advance, but if you want you can register here for email updates.

The time appears to be UK time zone, so you may need to check what time it will be in your local area :)
