Scores yesterday mounted a protest outside the American embassy to register their rejection of America’s pledged support to Israel as it relates to the fight between Israel and Palestine in the Gaza strip.
Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, said that the demonstration was orchestrated by the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) and a number of non-governmental organizations.

“We consider it was a serious crime against humanity and the US is supporting this. This is the same country that portrays high morality and paints itself to be the bastion of freedom of the world. Yet still it lends support to the slaughter of innocent people including children on a daily basis,” he added.
There have been many calls, worldwide, to halt the fighting between Israel and Palestine. People all over the world are hoping for a cease-fire and for peace in Gaza, Nandlall said.
