Narges Mohammadi

The October issue of the NW NJPN E BULLETIN leads with news of Home Secretary Suella Braverman's latest comments concerning refugees and asylum seekers and an urgent action request by the campaigning group Safe Passage.

Other articles feature Black History Month; Pope Francis' new Apostolic Exhortation on the climate crisis Laudate Deum (Praise God), released ahead of COP28 in Dubai next month. Also, a challenging poem by Norman MacCaig inspired by St Francis of Assisi whose Feast Day, 4 October, marks the end of Creation Time.

We reproduce an excellent editorial from Together for the Common Good (do look at the many articles, podcasts and events on offer on their website) as well as highlighting Challenge Poverty Week (16-22 October).

And we share the news that the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Iranian women's rights campaigner Narges Mohammadi.
