Protesters chanted “shame”, carried Palestine flags and a cut-out of Hillary Clinton depicted with blood on her hands
On Thursday evening, November 14, a pro-Palestine demonstration was held outside Queen's University in South Belfast to coincide with Hillary Clinton's appearance at the three day Global Innovation Summit held at the university.
The university added: “Today’s protest coincided with the final day of a three-day international conference, the Global Innovation Summit, which brought together political, industry and academic leaders to discuss pressing issues around economic inclusion and sustainability facing our world. “Queen’s University has led the way in response to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East through calling for a ceasefire, providing scholarships for Palestinian students and divestment policies and has responded positively to the concerns of our university population where appropriate.”
"Officers will remain in the south Belfast area this evening and a full robust investigation will follow in due course."
