Norwegian Association of Psychologists statement on Gaza. Can anyone translate?
January 6th, 2009
The Norwegian Association of Psychologists (Norsk psykologforening - NPF) has issued a statement on the Gaza fighting. I am unable to read. If I get a translation, I will post it. This is waht I was told in an email:
NPF is strongly protesting against the israelis bloccade and aggressions, and against the destruction of the veterans rehabilitation centre in Gaza. The NPF is a contributor to this rehab centre. The associations spokeswoman for human rights issues, Nora Sveaas, is now being interviewed by Norgewian media, so this press release has already been picked up by the main media in Norway.

Hi Stephen,
You can plug the text into http://translate.google.com and select Norwegian to English to get a rough idea of what they’re saying. The Norwegian statement echoes one the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims released yesterday, about the toll the events in Gaza are having on the mental health of citizens, especially children. You can read that press statement (in English) here:
