Vigil for Refugees, Palmerston North, 2015

Islam Open Day 2014

A cold, wet night on September 10, 2015, was not enough to deter 50 to 60 Palmer-
ston North people from attending a vigil for the refugees from the endless wars in the Middle East — and from the many-sided conflict in Syria, in particular. The vigil, which saw many participants holding flickering candles as well as placards, was held for two hours outside the Ding Xin travel and immigration agency in central George Street.
