Hundreds mark International Quds Day in UK capital
Hundreds of demonstrators have marched in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian nation in UK capital of London on the occasion of International Quds Day.
On Friday, the pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered near the BBC headquarters, to censure the state-funded broadcaster’s coverage of brutal Israeli wars against the blockaded Gaza Strip.
The demonstrators also marched on the American Embassy in London, holding up paper Palestinian flags imprinted with “Boycott Israel” and shouting slogans against the regime in Tel Aviv.
The last Friday in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan has been designated by the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini as the International Quds Day.
Each year, millions of people around the world stage rallies on the day to voice their support for the Palestinian nation and repeat their call for an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s atrocities and occupation of the Palestinian territories.
Tel Aviv, condemned as an apartheid regime, maintains a defiant stand on the issue of illegal settlements on Palestinian land as it refuses to freeze settlement expansion. More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
It also denies about 1.7 million people in the Gaza Strip their basic rights, such as freedom of movement, jobs that pay proper wages, and adequate healthcare and education.
