Hyderabad: Hyderabad police took students into custody within five minutes of the pro-Palestine protest organized near the Ambedkar Statue in Basheer Bagh.
A group of female students staged a protest to express solidarity with Palestinians, raising slogans denouncing Israel for its bombardment of Gaza. They carried a placard reading “Long live Palestine.”
The police detained the protestors who were chanting “down Israel.” The police personnel were seen escorting the protestors away in a police vehicle.
A police officer stated that there was no permission for the protest. This was the first protest in Hyderabad since the latest conflict between Israel and Palestine began last week.
