15,000 protestors converge on London from all over the UK in support of Palestine
The 2023 Al-Quds Day March and Rally took place on Sunday 16 April 2023. Record numbers attended the annual event. Protestors congregated at the Home Office before marching to Downing Street, where a rally was held, and was addressed by speakers from different faith, non-faith and political backgrounds[1].
Speakers took the podium to denounce the Israeli apartheid system and the ongoing oppression of the Palestinians.
A group of some 20 Zionists held a small counter-rally. One Zionist counter-protestor was arrested.
Chair of Islamic Human Rights Commission (which is one of the organisers of the event), Massoud Shadjareh said:
“Unlike 40 years ago, when Al-Quds Day began, today it is quite clear that we can and will see the end of the Israeli regime and its brutality. The only question is when.”
