Sheffield Protests: Israel out of Lebanon and Gaza – Don't Attack Syria or Iran

C | 19.08.2006 21:34 | Lebanon War 2006 | Anti-militarism | Sheffield

Protestors gathered in front of Sheffield City Hall on Saturday 19th August 2006 for a demonstration called by the Sheffield StWC: Israel out of Lebanon and Gaza – Don't Attack Syria or Iran.






















The turnout was poor compared to the last two demonstrations:

Perhaps this was because of the "ceasefire", perhaps because people have been terrorised, perhaps because the demonstration wasn't announced in the mosques as the other two were or perhaps it was a combination of all these things.

There were not enough people for a march and after some speaches kids shoes were laied at the foot of the war memorial and there was a minutes silence.
