Palestine rights campaigners gather across Britain in protest against Puma
The classmates of 15-year-old Sadeel Naghniyeh carry her body during her funeral in the West Bank Jenin refugee camp Wednesday, June 21, 2023. Naghniyeh died from wounds sustained in an Israeli military raid on Monday that triggered some of the fiercest fighting with Palestinian militants in years
CAMPAIGNERS across Britain launched a day of action on Saturday along with global protesters following attacks on Palestinian communities by the Israeli military and groups of illegal settlers which left homes, cars, olive groves and farmland burned.
In Britain, protests took place in at least 17 towns and cities, ranging from Brighton to Edinburgh, London to Manchester, and York to Cwumbran in Wales.
The protesters targeted shops of the Puma sportswear firm over the company’s sponsorship of the Israeli Football Association (IFA) which includes teams from illegal Israeli settlements on land stolen from Palestine and condemned by the United Nations as illegal under international law.
