On the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, a ‘March for Palestine’ began at around 3:30pm at the Anti-Violence Raju Memorial Sculpture at Dhaka University attended by the students and others on Friday.
During the programme, a large national flag of Palestine was displayed and participants chanted slogans ‘Answer for genocide,’ ‘Free, free Palestine,’ ‘2024: Genocide no more,’ ‘Occupation no more,’ ‘From Arakan to Palestine, let there be freedom,’ ‘Child killing no more,’ and ‘Zionism no more,’ among others.
A mass signature campaign in support of Palestine was also conducted. Then a procession carrying the large flag started from the Raju Memorial Sculpture, passed Ruqayyah Hall, the VC Chattor, and Fuller Road, before ending back at the Raju Sculpture.
At the programme, Abu Baker Mojumder, coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, said, ‘When we started our movement in July, the cries of the people of Palestine worked as our spirit. Therefore, on this day, we demand the liberation of Palestine.’
