Major march in Geneva tomorrow

Friday, 18 October 2024 06:30

Traffic and public transport will be disrupted tomorrow due to a major march through the centre of Geneva.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators are calling for an end of private investment in Israeli firms and the recent parliamentary vote to end funding in UNRWA – the UN’s relief operation in Gaza.

They’re calling for a military embargo and an economic boycott of Israel.

The march starts at 2.30 tomorrow afternoon and moves from the Place Neuve to Parc des Croppettes, passing over then Mont-Blanc Bridge. 

Some roads will be closed and bus lines will be diverted.
