Pro-Palestinian protestors have stormed Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow calling for a ceasefire this afternoon.
The demonstration kicked off shortly after lunchtime on November 10 and police are currently at the scene. Dozens of activists are sitting in the art gallery with Palestine flags and banners.
Images from the scene show one white banner on the balcony with 'Join the Resistance' painted in red. People can be seen sitting on the floor while the group shouts 'Free Palestine'.
In a statement, the group stated: “We stand here today, reading aloud the names of the 7028 murdered in Gaza as a protest against the dehumanisation of the Palestinian people.
“We know that many more have been brutally murdered since this list was released with the death toll now rising beyond 10,000 people.
“As we bear witness to the ongoing genocide, ethnic cleansing, occupation, collective punishment, and humanitarian crises in Gaza enforced by the state of Israel and supported by Western governments, we urgently call on all Members of the Scottish Parliament to publicly join with the First Minister’s demand of an immediate ceasefire, and to apply pressure to their Westminster peers to do the same.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We are aware of the protest and officers are in attendance."
