Sea of people at Suhrawardy chant ‘Liberate Palestine’

Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital Dhaka turned into a sea of people on Saturday afternoon in solidarity with the Palestinians as part of the “March for Gaza’ program. They chanted ‘Liberate Palestine’.

The solidarity rally was held under the ‘March for Gaza’ program, organized to protest the ongoing Israeli brutality and genocide in Palestine.

Organized by the Palestine Solidarity Movement, Bangladesh, it began at 3pm with the recitation from the holy Quran and ended at 4pm. 

Editor of the Daily Amar Desh Mahmudur Rahman read a declaration at the rally.

People started arriving at the venue from different points of the capital Dhaka in large and small processions amid scorching sun from the morning. 

Suhrawardy Udyan and its adjacent areas became abuzz with various slogans like ‘Free Free Palestine’, ‘Long Live Palestine’, ‘Who are we, who are you, Palestine, Palestine’. 

Carrying both the national flag and the Palestinian flag, participants gathered on Suhrawardy Udyan with a unified goal—to express solidarity with the Gaza people, build global public opinion, and raise their voices in favour of humanitarian values.
