Yesterday, around 200 people turned up to Garema Place in Canberra’s CBD, Ngunnawal country, to mark the 12th week of the war in Gaza.
The crowd heard speeches from Awn Nuwwar & Diana Abdel-Rahman (MCs, Palestinian Action Group Canberra), Dr Rick Kuhn, Dr Hasan Hijazi, Sue Wareham (Medical Association for the Prevention of War) and members of the public. They called for an immediate ceasefire to hostilities in Gaza.
The protesters then marched through the CBD, where one person was fined by police after being given a move-on order when they tried to block traffic at an intersection.
