Athens protesters demand a free and just solution for Palestinians

Athens has seen another show of public solidarity with Palestine as hundreds of people rallied in the city centre to mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

Demonstrators gathered in a central park after civil society groups issued a call for nationwide mobilisation. The crowd demanded an immediate end to Israel’s attacks and urged Europe to back what they described as a “free and just solution” for Palestinians.

The march, held annually on 29 November, took on a sharper tone this year, with protesters denouncing Israel’s assault and accusing Western governments of enabling the violence through political and military support.
