[London MET LGBT]

Hi There

First of all, thanks to those of you who came last night - I am sure that
you will agree it was a good event - and I hope more people can make the
next event.

1. MOVIE NIGHT IS NOT CANCELLED. Details are below:

met @the movies 6.30pm - TM2-35 (Tower Main, North Campus)

Why rely on alcohol or expensive cinema tickets? We will be showing a film
tonight - titles will be posted and you choose what to watch! Refreshments,
good movies, good company, what more could you want?

2. Emergency Demonstration - Friday 19th October - If people want to go,
email me back!!!

"On the 2nd October two young men in the Saudi Arabian city of Al-Bahah were
convicted of 'sodomy' and sentenced to 7,000 lashes. The lashes were carried
out in stages over the course of three weeks and the sentence has now been
carried out. In Saudi Arabia being gay, lesbian or bisexual is illegal and
the maximum penalty is death.

This year NUS LGBT Campaign is campaigning for 'Love without Borders'.
Around the world, LGBT people are persecuted, imprisoned and even murdered
in state-sponsored homophobia. We live in a global community and no longer
can we stand by while LGBT people are persecuted. Now is the time to use our
freedom to fight for the rights of others across the globe. When abuses of
human rights take place we must not be silent.

To this end NUS LGBT campaign, working with partnership organisations, will
be organising an emergency demonstration outside the Royal Embassy of Saudi
Arabia, 30 Charles Street, London, W1J 5DZ at 1.30pm on Friday 19th October.
We call on individuals and groups, LGBT or otherwise to protest against the
continued criminalisation, imprisonment, torture and murder of LGBT people
in Saudi Arabia. We will be handing a letter of protest to the Saudi
Ambassador, HRH Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf, calling on his Government to
respect the human rights of its own LGBT citizens.

Please join us in the struggle for Love without Borders - LGBT rights around
the world - and make your views known to the Saudi Ambassador on Friday.

Yours in pride
