Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: Yesterday (Saturday, August 9), demonstrators carried slogans and placards calling on the British government and authorities to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and identify him as a war criminal and the main person responsible for the genocidal crimes committed by the Israeli occupiers in the Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of British citizens, Arab and foreign activists participated in the event. The march started from Russell Square, a public park in the heart of London and one of the most historic and cultural areas of the city, and continued towards Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister, and in front of the country’s parliament.
The aim of the march is to pressure the British government to stop arms exports to Israel and end the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip, amid growing international warnings about a humanitarian catastrophe and famine in the region.
