London, Palestinians protest to celebrate 75 years of the Nakba

Thousands of people marched in London on Saturday to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), which Palestinians remember every May 15 to mark the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes and lands in 1948, after the foundation of the Zionist regime. According to Infopal, the rally, titled "Nakba 75 - End Apartheid, End Occupation", was intended to show solidarity and demand action to end British support for Israel's system of oppression.

Thousands of people gathered in front of the BBC headquarters and marched towards Downing Street, where the prime minister's office is located, at number 10. The event was organized by the Palestinian Forum in Britain, Friends of al-Aqsa , the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the Muslim Association of Great Britain. "We remember the Nakba not only as a historical event, but as a continuous process of oppression carried out over the past 75 years, through the ongoing colonization of the land, the imposition of Apartheid and military occupation," said the Nakba Campaign.
