Photos: Thousands rally in solidarity with Palestine in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei

Over 8,000 Bruneians stepped out in solidarity with Palestine this morning in front of Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in Bandar Seri Begawan, calling for an end to the ongoing Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip. Political marches are banned in Brunei, but authorities allowed a group of local NGOs, businesses and social impact groups to organise a 2.5km "peace walk" to raise money for the national Humanitarian Relief Fund for Palestinians in Gaza.
