People take part in the Palestine Solidarity Campaign national march, the 18th national march since October 2023, in central London, September 7, 2024
TENS of thousands are set to march through central London on Saturday to demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and a halt to arms sales to Israel.
Protesters are due to set off from Park Lane down to Whitehall in a demonstration called by a coalition of groups including Stop the War, Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and Friends of Al-Aqsa.
Actors Juliet Stevenson and Khalid Abdalla, Oxfam CEO Halima Begum, Palestinian Dr Ahmad Mukallalati and MPs Kim Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn are among those due to speak at the rally.
Government urged ‘to tackle the root causes’ of the NHS crisis and improve ‘social care services’
Meanwhile, Defend Our Juries say the fact that only half of the protesters faced arrests ‘shows how unworkable and unenforceable this ban is’
