During the festival, awards were given to a number of pro-Palestinian figures in the UK, most notably Richard Boyd Barrett, an Irish MP known for his pro-Palestinian stance.

In his speech, Barrett stressed, the Palestinian people deserve support, because they have suffered greatly under Israeli occupation for decades and are still refugees living in camps. (T/RE1)
