40,000 march through London for the hostages

An estimated 40,000 people, many dressed in yellow and carrying yellow balloons, took part in an emotional rally in London last weekend to demand freedom for the 125 hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza, writes Jenni Frazer. In blazing sunshine those on the demonstration, which included representatives from Jewish communities across the UK, were joined by Iranian supporters and numerous church groups. The United We Bring Them Home event – a march to Richmond Terrace in Whitehall, opposite Downing Street – was organised by the UK branches of the 7/10 Human Chain group and the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, and was part of a global initiative, with rallies held in New York, across the US, Australia, Germany, Spain and France. By late afternoon, the Metropolitan Police, who closed Whitehall for the duration of the rally as well as some roads for the parade from Holborn to Downing Street, said there had been one arrest. “An altercation between a passerby and a member of the public resulted in the passerby being arrested for common assault.” Continued on page 4
