On Friday, May 31, the protest was called by the association Iceland - Palestine to protest inaction in the affairs of Palestine. The protest was held at the meeting place of the government. Among the demands of the protesters is that the Icelandic state imposes trade restrictions on Israel and ends political relations with the country.
About 150 people participated in the protest, which was peaceful. The police soon arrived at the scene and began to disperse the protesters with harsh tactics. Some protesters were dragged away on their feet, while others were sprayed with caustic acid in their faces and eyes, and some had to go to the hospital.
Justice Minister Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir defended the actions of the police and said in the parliament today that the protests were no longer considered peaceful.
-It has long been known that the Icelandic police support methods that can be compared to fascism. Not so long ago, some Icelandic police officers decided to wear fascist symbols inside their clothes.
