HUNDREDS of people formed a 500-metre “red line” in Aberystwyth on Saturday to demand justice for Palestine.

The symbol has been previously used outside Westminster, the Senedd and the White House in the US.

More than 60 Welsh trade unions; faith-based, peace, environmental networks; and Palestine solidarity groups joined the action, with people across the country travelling to Aberystwyth call for an end to the genocide in Gaza.

Hannah Mann of Aberystwyth Palestine Solidarity Campaign said: “Every hand that holds the red line is united in defiance — and in hope.

“Israel has crossed every red line imaginable — bombing civilians, razing hospitals, starving children.

“Yet our leaders remain silent. If our governments won’t draw the line, we will become it.”

“The red line symbolises the breaking point — not only for international law, but for our collective conscience.

“Wales’s First Minister and MSs now face a moral choice: If this is not the red line, what is?”

Stop Starving Gaza emergency demonstrations were also held in Brighton, Carlisle, Letchworth, Lincoln, Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Slough, Abergavenny in Wales, and Orkney in Scotland.

In Brighton, protesters left their cooking pots and pans outside Cabinet minister Peter Kyle’s constituency office.
