As COVID-19 pandemic has caused many countries to go into lockdown, activists condemning human rights violations in Palestine did not cancel their activities for this year. Instead, a well-coordinated and widely supported campaign went online.
As reported by the Canada files website, the UK’s Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) organized an online campaign where participants put up a Palestinian flag on their cars and home windows worldwide and sent the picture to IHRC which distributed the photos online.
Other organizations organized online discussion forums featuring people from different faiths and ethnic backgrounds highlighting the oppression of Palestinians under Zionist occupation.
After the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Imam Khomeini proclaimed Al Quds Day for the last Friday of Ramadan to create awareness about the continued occupation of Islam’s first Qibla.
