(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) LONDON, May 17 (KUNA) -- Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of London on Saturday in a massive solidarity march with Gaza, marking the 77th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba.
The march, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, began in the Embankment area in central London and passed major landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament in Westminster. Protesters carried banners demanding an end to the genocide against Gaza's population and condemning the international community's failure to act in the face of Israeli atrocities.
Upon reaching the Prime Minister's residence at Downing Street, demonstrators called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government to stop selling arms to Israeli forces and to take concrete steps to end "all forms of direct or indirect complicity in the ongoing bloodshed against the Palestinian people in Gaza and other regions."
In a statement, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign said that the march, which included Members of Parliament and civil society activists, coincided with the Nakba anniversary this year -- marked by unprecedented acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Meanwhile, British police confirmed arrest of seven individuals, three for violating protest conditions, one for physically assaulting a demonstrator, and three others for inciting disorder and threatening public order. (end)
