jan 13, 2024 - Thousands Attend Pro-Palestine Rally in London

Description:

Thousands of people joined a pro-Palestinian march in London calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Demonstrators carried placards emblazoned with "ceasefire now" and a giant puppet of a Syrian child refugee, named Little Amal, accompanied the march to highlight child refugees.

Organisers said the protest was part of a global day of action in 30 countries.

More than 1,700 police officers were on duty to manage the march from London's commercial centre to Westminster.

Six people have been arrested for a range of alleged offences, the Metropolitan Police said.

"Two for offensive placards, one for being in possession of stickers to be used for criminal damage and the three arrested under the Terrorism Act," the Met said on social media.
