This evening, pro-Palestine activists gathered in Cagliari to show solidarity with the people of Gaza, marching chanting "Free Palestine, Free Gaza."

The protest is proceeding peacefully, but with a heated and determined tone . Activists reiterated their stance against the violence in the Middle East, calling for an immediate ceasefire and recognition of the rights of the Palestinian people. Meanwhile, another demonstration is planned for tomorrow evening, coinciding with the arrival of the Freedom Flotilla in Gaza.
