周四,二十多名亲巴勒斯坦抗议者因阻止纽约市梅西感恩节游行而被捕。
为了连续第二年就在上午9:30之前,示威者越过栅栏,冲进了西55街。
这25名抗议者将面临的确切指控仍悬而未决,他们的身份尚未公布。
抗议者坐在地上,锁着双臂,高呼,“自由,自由的巴勒斯坦!”
其他人举着横幅,上面写着:“不要庆祝种族灭绝!现在武器禁运。”
短暂的中断引起了观众的嘘声,然后在NYPD官员的干预下欢呼起来。
由于25名抗议者被从道路上移走,游行被推迟了大约5分钟。
国际社会呼吁在加沙停火,但是为达成停火协议所做的无数努力都没有成功。自2023年10月7日战争开始以来,已有超过4万人在加沙丧生。
第一次梅西感恩节游行发生在1927年。从那以后,这就成了一个节日传统。
Pro-Palestinian protesters arrested for interrupting Thanksgiving parade
More than two dozen Pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested for blocking the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thursday.
For thesecond year in a row, the demonstrators jumped the barriers and ran into West55thStreet just before9:30 a.m.
The exact charges the 25 protesters will be facing are still pending, and their identities have not been released.
The protesters sat on the ground, locking their arms and chanting, "Free, free Palestine!"
Others held a banner behind them that said: "Don’t celebrate genocide! Arms embargo now."
The brief interruption had spectators booing -- and then cheering as NYPD officers intervened.
The parade was delayed for about five minutes as the 25 protesters were removed from the road.
There have been international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, but numerous efforts to reach an agreement to end fighting have not succeeded. More than 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war started on Oct. 7, 2023.
The first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade took place in 1927. It's been a holiday tradition ever since.
