Crowds gathered in Glasgow over the weekend as a ‘Stop The War’ demonstration took place. People were pictured attending the ‘National Palestine rally’ in the city centre, which was organised by the Stop The War coalition, on Saturday, August 16.
Attendees were asked to gather at the McLennan Arch in Glasgow Green at around 12.30pm. From there, they marched into the city centre and congregated at the steps on Buchanan Street.
The Glasgow branch of the Stop The War coalition also encouraged those heading along to bring pots and pans. Our photographer went along to capture the march as it took place.
Images show participants holding placards with some reading “Mothers Against Genocide Scotland”, “Welfare not warfare”, and “Imagine risking your life to feed your family for a meagre bag of flour”. Banners were also held up as the march passed through the city centre.
A statement posted to Glasgow Stop the War Coalition’s Facebook page ahead of the rally reads: “Join the national demonstration in Glasgow. Saturday, August 16, gather at Glasgow Green. ‘Bring pots and pans.’
