The Fat City Gallery is hosting three days of events and an exhibition this weekend aimed at exposing ongoing human rights abuses in Syria and rallying an Aspen audience to the cause.
The gallery will host detention and torture survivor Omar Alshogre, who will give testimony of his experience Friday, followed by a exhibition of images by the anonymous photographer known as “Caesar” who has documented the Assad regime’s murder of detainees, and will close with a screening Sunday of the documentary “Red Lines.”
From Monday, hair salons and barbers will be allowed re-open for appointments. It is one of the relaxations of coronavirus measures announced by First Minister Mark Drakeford today(Friday, March 12). In January, a Ruthin salon was left absolutely devastated when Storm Christoph hit the town. Tommy s Hair Company, located on Clwyd Street, had lost everything on the ground floor and walls were soaked up to two meters high. Since then, staff members have been working hard to bounce back from the damage done - but a re-opening date is still unconfirmed for the salon as renovations continue two months on.
