Santiago pro-Palestinian demonstrations

Overview

In Santiago, Chile, protesters and human rights organizations participated in a global mobilization to express solidarity with Palestine and denounce the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Demonstrators marched through central Santiago, including the area near La Moneda, calling for an end to violence and demanding stricter sanctions and an arms embargo against Israel.

Human rights organizations characterized the conflict as a genocide and addressed the concept of ‘pinkwashing,’ arguing that LGBTQIA+ rights are being instrumentalized to justify military occupation. Participants included student federations, labor unions, and local authorities from the Recoleta and Pudahuel municipalities.
