Edinburgh Protest Targets UK Government Building Over Gaza Stance

Activists spray red paint and hoist Palestinian flag in protest of UK's refusal to call for immediate Gaza ceasefire.

Activists in Edinburgh protest against UK's stance on Gaza by spraying red paint on Queen Elizabeth House and replacing Union flag with Palestinian flag.
Five individuals from the This Is Rigged campaign group were arrested following the protest.
The UK Government has resisted calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, seeking instead a 'sustained humanitarian pause' to facilitate aid and the release of hostages.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's administration emphasizes alignment with the US, advocating for conditions conducive to a lasting ceasefire, including the release of all hostages and a restructured Palestinian Authority.
The protest aims to highlight perceived UK complicity in the conflict, with activists urging a boycott of companies and events supporting the Israeli state.
