ABNA24 - The Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB) called on the Palestinian community, Arab and Muslim communities, and all people of conscience across the UK to join the National March for Palestine on Saturday, 18 July, assembling at 12:00 noon in Russell Square, London.
As Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues, alongside the systematic starvation, bombardment and forced displacement of the Palestinian people, this demonstration comes at a critical moment to demand an end to UK complicity, immediate sanctions on Israel, and decisive action to uphold international law.
The march also coincides with the Global Day of Action calling on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to fulfil its humanitarian responsibilities by restoring regular, independent visits to Palestinian prisoners and detainees held in Israeli custody, including Dr Husam Abu Safiya, and ensuring that all Palestinian detainees are afforded the protections guaranteed under international humanitarian law.
The rally will feature speeches from leading voices in the Palestine solidarity movement, including:
● Tariq Allabadi – Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB)
● Lindsey German – Stop the War Coalition (STW)
● Raghad Tikriti – Muslim Association of Britain (MAB)
● Peter Leary – Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC)
● Sophie Bolt – Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND)
● Nadia Hawa – Red Ribbons Campaign
● Dr Hala Hanina – Academic and journalist from Gaza
● Sarah Agha – British-Palestinian actress and writer
● Jeremy Corbyn MP
The PFB urges everyone who believes in justice, freedom and human rights to take to the streets in large numbers. Every voice and every participant send a clear message that the British public rejects genocide, demands accountability, and stands firmly with the Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom, dignity and justice.
