Council chamber cleared as protest takes place
[Neil Terry Photography]
ACTIVISTS disrupted a meeting at Bradford Council on Tuesday night as they called for the divestment of £1 billion in companies complicit in the genocide in Gaza.
Protesters chanted “shame on you” at Labour councillors from the gallery and hung up banners saying “divest from genocide now” and “profits covered in Palestinian blood.”
One councillor, independent Ismail Uddin, wrote on social media that Labour councillors “ran out of the chambers” as soon as the activists appeared.
