THIS Saturday marks a Global Day of Action in support of Gaza, with demonstrations set to take place across the world.
In Scotland, demonstrations have been organised by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC) in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen.
This comes after the campaign group staged a sit-in protest in the Scottish Parliament on Thursday, to demand that the Scottish Government supports South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Israel.
Whilst protests in Edinburgh and Glasgow are calling for a permanent ceasefire, the Aberdeen demonstration will target Barclays Bank, which organisers say is complicit in investing in weapons which Israel has used in its military campaign.
Meanwhile, in Dundee attendees have been asked to have a piece of paper with the word “press” on it across their chest to show solidarity with journalists in Gaza.
The planned demonstrations are:
- Edinburgh: Foot of the Mound, 2pm
- Glasgow: City Chambers, 1pm
- Dundee: City Square, 2pm
- Aberdeen: Barclays at 163 Union Street, 11am
