Hundreds Gather In Front Of Parliament For Annual Al-quds March

Hundreds of people marched on Parliament in Cape Town to observe the International Day of Solidarity with the Oppressed, also known as the Al-Quds march. It is held on the last Friday before the end of Ramadan.

The organisers say while there is solidarity with all people around the world living under siege or oppression, it is especially the plight of the Palestinian people that is top of mind.

A number of organisations joined in the protest action, including various political parties.

The public came out in numbers as the procession made its way to Parliament.
