This is The Hague today protesting against Israel’s genocide and occupation. Reports of more than 100,000 people. Organized by Oxfam Novib - they asked protesters to wear red. “Draw the red line for Gaza.”

CPJ Asia Irene Khan Committee to Protect Journalists As a journalist, I strongly echo @IreneKhan's call at the #UNHRC: defending freedom of expression is not optional, it’s urgent.
