Video: Protesters rally outside Israeli embassy in London over Palestinian prisoners

Hundreds of activists gathered outside the Israeli embassy in London on Saturday as part of the international Red Ribbons Campaign, calling for the release of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons and protesting Israel’s war in Gaza.

Organisers said the campaign aims to draw attention to more than 9,000 Palestinians in Israeli custody, including hundreds of children and medical workers.

Demonstrators said the rally was intended to highlight the situation of Palestinians detained by Israel, including some held without charge or trial.

Protesters also called for the release of Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya, who they said has spent six months in solitary confinement after being detained by Israeli forces in Gaza.

Human rights groups have repeatedly raised concerns about the treatment of Palestinian prisoners, while Israel has rejected allegations of systematic abuse.
