Protesters rallied on Friday evening outside the presidential palace and the foreign ministry in Nicosia, denouncing Israel’s blockade of the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying aid to Gaza and the planned deportation of those on board.
The demonstration began at 6pm with participants waving Palestinian and Cypriot flags. They chanted slogans including “Freedom for Palestine” and listened to speeches calling for resistance against what organisers described as fascism, chauvinism, and imperialism.
