The demonstrations took place in major cities, including Seoul and Busan. Participants gathered near government buildings and central squares, holding signs reading, “Freedom for Palestine,” “Stop the War,” and “Human Rights for All.”
The protests were organized by civic groups, student unions, and human rights organizations. Many participants were young people expressing solidarity with Palestinians and condemning the prolonged conflict that has claimed thousands of lives.
“We want to remind the world of the importance of human rights and the urgent need to end the bloodshed,” one protester said.
Public Reaction
Protests in South Korea, especially concerning international issues, are relatively uncommon. However, the ongoing crisis in Gaza has struck a chord with many in South Korean society.
Experts note that public activism in South Korea is often tied to global issues of justice and humanity. Despite this, the South Korean government has yet to issue a statement regarding the protests.
The Conflict in Gaza
The war in Gaza has been ongoing for approximately 15 months. According to international organizations, thousands of people have been killed, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. Calls for a ceasefire have come from the UN and other world leaders, but the conflict continues.
