Advance notice: protest outside FC Barcelona shareholders' meeting on Sunday

A group of airline cabin crew members will protest outside the FC Barcelona members' meeting at Barcelona's Palau de Congressos de Catalunya, from 09:30 on Sunday 25 October. They will be asking attendees – socios – to uphold the club's ideals of social responsibility and fairness, and reject further sponsorship by Qatar Airways.

 

The event will take place at the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya, Av. Diagonal, 661-671, 08028 Barcelona (http://www.pcongresos.com/en/index.php). Press and photographers are invited to attend. There will be a strong visual element to the protest (see goo.gl/I7tGy6).

 

You will receive a further press release with more details on Friday 23 October.
