Gaza solidarity march halts Edinburgh
MORE than 2,000 people brought Edinburgh to a halt on Saturday with a powerful demonstration of solidarity for Gaza.
The 90-minute march from the Mound to the first minister’s residence at Bute House stopped for a two-minute silence in a packed Princes Street, where the city’s festival-goers showed strong support.
Demonstrators each held a card bearing the name of one of the 2,000 people — 400 of them children — who have been killed in the current Israeli assault.
