Today Tue 17 April, ongoing -
Occupation of BBC Scotland
Over 40 protesters have occupied the Headquarters of BBC Scotland in Glasgow, demanding mainstream media coverage for the 2,400 Palestinian prisoners who began hunger strikes today. These actions mark a development from the ongoing hunger strikes which have been taking place since December. Currently, the individuals who have been on hunger strike longest are Thae'r Halahi and Bilal Diab, both of whom are currently on their 50th day without food. This protest is organised to challenge the BBC's continued silence around this recent escalation of Palestinian resistance - it's refusal to report any of the actions that have lead to this decision by 2,400 Palestinians calls into question it's impartiality. The demonstrators entered the building before midday
