Hawzah News Agency- The demonstrations formed part of a global campaign involving more than 200 organisations in over 60 countries, calling for an end to arms transfers to Israel and stronger international measures to hold it accountable for violations of international law.
Organised by the Global Alliance for Palestine, the international mobilisation brought together trade unions, student movements, human rights organisations and grassroots solidarity groups. Demonstrations and solidarity activities took place in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay and Peru, as activists called for increased political, economic and diplomatic pressure on Israel.
In São Paulo, Brazil’s Unified Workers’ Central (CUT) joined the mobilisation, announcing the participation of healthcare workers demanding the release of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, and other detained Palestinian medical personnel. The union also called for the protection of Palestinian hospitals and healthcare workers.
