AI-generated summary
Why It Matters
The procession was organized by the Turin for Gaza coordination. The Police Headquarters had established a different route from the one attempted by the demonstrators.
The head of the regional pro-Palestine demonstration, leaving shortly after 2.30pm in Turin from Viale I Maggio, next to the Royal Gardens, immediately approached the cordon of police forces in Piazza Castello, with pushes, punches and kicks. It was first repelled with a few truncheons, then the tension was dampened by partially allowing almost a thousand demonstrators to enter the square, under the porticoes not far from the Teatro Regio.
Piazza Castello was the place where the organization of the procession, the Turin for Gaza coordination, had made an appointment, while yesterday the Police Headquarters had indicated the avenue leading down towards the Royal Gardens, just behind the square, as the starting point.
