Pro-Palestine Banners Raised during UEFA Champions League Match in Paris

IQNA – A match between Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League was the scene of pro-Palestine activism on Wednesday night.

Fans raised a huge banner that read: "Free Palestine" in English, and a smaller one that said, "Battle on the field but peace in the world" in French before kick-off at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris.

The larger banner featured images of the iconic Dome of the Rock Mosque in al-Quds and the Palestinian and Lebanese flags.

They were demanding an end to the Israeli regime’s genocidal war in the Gaza Strip and attacks on Lebanon.

Israel has continued a devastating offensive against the Gaza Strip Oct. 7, 2023.

The onslaught has killed nearly 43,400 people and rendered the enclave almost uninhabitable.

Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in the blockaded enclave.
