Pro-Palestine Protesters Breach Turin’s Porta Susa Station Before Police Halt Advance

A city councillor moved to suspend Turin’s twinning with Israel in a motion scheduled for debate Monday.

Overview

  • Protesters marched from Piazza Castello displaying a banner that read, “Still bombs on Gaza, no truce for you.”
  • After an initial attempt to enter Porta Nuova and clashes with police, the procession continued along Corso Bolzano toward Porta Susa.
  • A group forced entry into the Porta Susa station building, but police held the stairways to the platforms and stopped access to the tracks.
  • Tensions escalated as stones and bottles were thrown at officers, prompting limited police “alleggerimento” charges to relieve pressure on the cordon.
  • In Milan earlier, a separate march featured a banner rejecting a truce and accusing Israel of ongoing bombing and genocide.
