Activists supporting the Palestinian People Demonstrate In Front Of Australian Parliament

Canberra-(ST)- Activists supporting the Palestinian people demonstrated on Wednesday in front of the Australian Parliament in the capital, Canberra, and lifted banners demanding an end to the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Agence France-Presse quoted the Renegade Activists organization, which organized the demonstration, as saying to Australian media: “We will not forget or forgive Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for his complicity in the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October.”

Members of this group, dressed in black and wore the Palestinian keffiyeh, climbed onto the front of Parliament and raised several large black-and-white banners above its entrance that read: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be liberated,” “No peace on stolen land,” and “War crimes.”

This demonstration comes against the backdrop of divisions within the Labor government headed by Albanese, who suspended the work of a senator after she voted in favor of a memorandum demanding that Australia recognizes the State of Palestine, in contravention of her party’s political line.

Senator Fatima Bayman said: She was banned after she supported the parliamentary memorandum proposed by the Green Party.

Widespread popular demonstrations took place in many countries of the world, especially in universities in the United States and many other European and Western countries, to protest the barbaric Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, and to demand that it be stopped immediately and that officials of the Israeli entity be brought to trial.
