The Quds Day event in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, attracted strong participation on Friday evening, with Venezuelans, local Muslims, and members of the Iranian and Palestinian communities attending in large numbers.
Speakers representing pro-Palestine organizations took the stage to denounce the actions of the Zionist regime and stress the importance of global backing for the Palestinian cause.
They noted, “The cause of Palestine is a cause of humanity,” reaffirming their dedication to standing against oppression and imperialism.
The event was held at Plaza de Juventud, a prominent square in Caracas, and included various programs such as live music and street theater performances.
These activities contributed to a dynamic atmosphere, further strengthening the sense of unity among supporters of Palestine.
Also, a declaration condemning Israel was publicly read during the gathering, and attendees were invited to sign a petition reflecting the same message.
To close the program, a short film titled Hide and Seek, directed by Iranian filmmaker Morteza Sazandeh, was screened for the audience.
The organization of the Quds Day event involved Venezuelan citizens, the country’s Ministry of Culture, the Cultural Attaché of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Venezuela, local NGOs advocating for Palestine, and Iran’s Art Bureau of the Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization.
