Solidarity Rally for Palestine in Front of the ILO in Geneva

Zionist Israel, which continues to implement genocidal policies against the people of Gaza, was protested in Geneva by representatives of labour organizations.

Within the framework of the 113th International Labour Conference of the International Labour Organization (ILO), trade unions and labour organizations gathered in Geneva, Switzerland, and held a solidarity rally for Palestine in front of the iconic “Broken Chair” monument near the United Nations headquarters, following a call by HAK-İŞ.

Messages of solidarity with the Palestinian people were delivered throughout the gathering.
