Pro-Palestinian protesters scale roof of Scottish Parliament

PRO-Palestinian protesters scaled the roof of the Scottish Parliament in protest at recent Israeli military attacks.

Around 15 members of the We Are All Hana Shalabi network, named after a Palestinian hunger striker, staged the protest whilst First Minister’s Questions was taking place inside.

The activists are calling upon the Scottish Government to do more to condemn Israel’s recent actions.

Police said ten protesters had been arrested and charged with breach of the peace.
