Thousands of protesters at a pro-Gaza demonstration have staged an impromptu march to the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh.
Chanting slogans such as “Free, free Palestine!” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, demonstrators marched up The Mound and along Edinburgh’s famous Royal Mile as onlookers including tourists watched.Glasgow’s Bath Street had to be closed due to the number of people attending the demonstration at the Buchanan Street steps in the city centre.
The renewed violence came after an attack last week by the militant group Hamas left hundreds of Israeli civilians and soldiers dead. “I’m happy that other people are here too because I want to show that there are people in the UK who care.”
