A protest has been
planned against Hillary Clinton's visit to Queen's University Belfast next
week.
The former US Secretary
of State will receive an honorary degree from the Belfast university, in
recognition of her "exceptional public service in the USA and
globally" as well as her "outstanding contribution" to peace and
reconciliation in Northern Ireland.
It is understood that
Socialist Youth NI is planning to protest the visit.
Circulating the event on Facebook, an organiser
posted: "Hillary Clinton is no peacemaker. She supported George Bush's
Iraq war, pushed for Obama's surge of troops into Afghanistan and was central
to pushing for military intervention in Libya, which has caused untold
destruction.
"Come to this protest to oppose Clinton
receiving this honour and support those in the United States and across the
world fighting for an alternative."
