A demonstration in the Swedish capital Stockholm on Saturday condemned Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, with protesters calling for an end to civilian deaths and bombings, Anadolu reports.
Protesters, who gathered at Odenplan Square following calls from several civil society organizations, carried signs reading “Civilians are being killed in Gaza,” “Schools and hospitals are being bombed,” “Stop the attacks on Lebanon,” “End food shortages” and “We don’t want war.”
‘I believe the truth will always prevail’
Swedish activist Joakim Andersson, who supported the demonstration, told Anadolu that he attends the weekly pro-Palestine rally in Stockholm every Saturday to draw attention to the situation in Gaza and raise awareness.
Saying he saw no sign that Israel’s attacks would end, Andersson said: “I come here on Saturdays to spread the message that everything is not over in Gaza; it is far from over. As far as I can see, there is not much of an end in sight either. In our own country, we have a strange political climate that I hope will change this year.
