‘March for Gaza’ in Suhrawardy Udyan on Saturday

A massive protest titled ‘March for Gaza” will take place in the Suhrawardy Udyan of Dhaka on Saturday, 12 April.

Organized by the Palestine Solidarity Movement, Bangladesh, it will begin at 3pm.

It is being held to protest the continued Israeli assault on Gaza, which has claimed thousands of civilian lives over the past year, including women and children.

The organizers have condemned the silence of the international community and the passive role of Muslim leaders in the face of what they describe as ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity. They have called on people from all religious and political backgrounds to join the march in a united show of support for the Palestinian people.

In light of recent incidents of vandalism during protests in Sylhet, Chattogram, and other areas, the movement issued a strong statement denouncing such acts as sabotage.
