Campaigners handed out leaflets to the public and stallholders on Saturday to raise awareness of Coca Cola's alleged operations in an Israeli settlement.

The Palestine Solidarity Group took to Carlisle city centre for the campaign, in line with a national day of action co-ordinated by Friends of Al-Aqsa.

Friends of Al-Aqsa argues that Coca Cola violates international law by operating in Atarot, an Israeli industrial settlement in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

In a similar vein, the group has previously called for a boycott of Barclays and products on shelves at the city's Sainsbury's. 

The weekly vigil followed the group's screening of the acclaimed documentary Where Olive Trees Weep at Carlisle's Church of Scotland on Chapel Street on July 19. 

Around 50 attendees turned up for the documentary that takes a deep look at life in the West Bank, under occupation.

Fiona Goldie, a group spokesperson said it was a 'very moving event'. 

"The film is extremely well made and covers the occupation and its impacts in depth," she said. 

"The audience was deeply moved by what they saw.

"Our group hopes to show the film elsewhere in the county in the coming months," they said.
