Protest at San Francisco APEC Summit demand freedom for Gaza

Hundreds of demonstrators, from anti-capitalists to pro-Palestinian advocates, gathered in San Francisco on the eve of an APEC summit to protest against the world bloc, AFP reports.

The protestors marched through the US city demanding participants in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum put people and planet above business.

“I’m here to protest in solidarity with Palestinians who have been undergoing 75 years of occupation and genocide and ethnic cleansing,” said Eleonore Collet, 28.

“It’s truly a genocide, and we are funding it in the US and that feels deeply wrong.”
