Thousands of Muslims in Semarang Take to Street in Solidarity with Palestine

Semarang, MINA – Thousands of Muslims in Semarang, Central Java took to the streets to carry out a Peaceful Action to Defend Palestine with a convoy of vehicles on Friday afternoon.

Participants in the action were seen crowding the streets of Semarang City and passing from the Baiturrahman Mosque, Jalan Pahlawan-RSUP Dr. Kariadi-Tugu Muda-Jalan Pandanaran-Baiturrahman Mosque at Simpang Lima.
