A group of photos of a solidarity march with Palestine have been circulating on social media, claiming that they are from a demonstration in Kolkata, India. The photos were accompanied by the following description: “Thousands of people demonstrated in Suhrawardy Park in Kolkata, India, in solidarity with the Palestinian people in light of the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.”
Kashif verified the image via Google Images search and found the claim to be misleading. The images are from a demonstration in which thousands of citizens took to the streets in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, in solidarity with Palestine, not in India.
Somoynews.tv Facebook account posted a series of photos with the following description: “March for Gaza. Millions of people gather in processions in Suhrawardi Udyan. The entire area is covered in slogans.”
The Al-Jarmaq News Network also published the same photos on its X , accompanied by the following description: “Thousands participate in a mass demonstration in Bangladesh, rejecting the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip and demanding an end to the ongoing aggression.”
The Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, witnessed a massive demonstration on Saturday, 12/4/2025, attended by approximately 100,000 people in solidarity with the Gaza Strip. The demonstration was organized by the Palestine Solidarity Movement.
The Israeli occupation’s aggression against the Gaza Strip continues. According to the latest update from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, the death toll from the aggression on the Gaza Strip since 7/10/2023, has risen to 50,944 and 116,156 injuries, including 15,000 children killed, and more than 34,000 other children injured.
