Several thousand pro-Palestinian protesters have marched through European capitals, demanding an end to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
In London, demonstrators moved past the British parliament carrying placards reading “End the genocide” and “Free Palestine”.
“We are here today to mark three years of the ongoing genocide in Gaza,” Aimee Shalan, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, told the AFP news agency, calling for “full sanctions on Israel”.
A so-called ceasefire took effect a year ago, but Israel continues to strike Gaza on a near-daily basis. The attacks have killed some 1,450 Palestinians since the truce began, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
London’s Metropolitan Police said they made “several arrests”, including a man and a woman holding placards supporting Palestine Action, a group banned under UK law.
Officers had also warned they would use public order powers to compel anyone wearing face coverings to remove them, pledging “zero tolerance” for hate crimes.
