UK groups prepare major Gaza demo
Protesters are preparing for a major UK demonstration calling for a halt to the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
More than 30 organisations, including the British Muslim Initiative, the Stop the War Coalition and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, are joining forces for Saturday’s protest and a rally along the Embankment in central London.
They are being supported by MPs and celebrities, including the singer Annie Lennox, activist and former model Bianca Jagger and the comedian Alexei Sayle.
The demo will be the culmination of days of smaller protests around the country as well as outside the Israeli Embassy in London.
