Thousands of people attended first pro-Palestinian rally in the France capital Paris on Sunday demanding an end to the Israeli massacre of Palestinians in Gaza.
“Israel assassin, Macron complicit” and “No peace without decolonisation” were among the slogans at the demonstration in the Place de la Republique square in eastern Paris, called by a left-wing collective, AFP reported.
It came after a court overturned a police ban on a similar rally in the capital on Thursday.
“We managed to convince the judges that we are defending human rights,” lawyer Dominique Cochin told the crowd.
Police estimated that 15,000 people attended the rally Sunday, while organisers counted 30,000.
Roughly a thousand people also marched in the southern city of Marseille.
Montreal rally
Moreover, thousands of people rallied in downtown Montreal to show solidarity with the Palestinians as Israel bombs Gaza for more than two weeks, Al-Jazeera reported.
The protesters called for an end to Israel’s bombardment, lifting of the siege on Gaza, and freedom for the Palestinians.
