Turin Police Block Pro‑Palestine March From Reaching Caselle Airport After Clashes

Sagat urged departing passengers to arrive early due to reinforced access checks and long queues at the sealed airport.

Overview

  • Organizers set out to block the airport and reach Leonardo’s facilities as the march grew to roughly 1,500 participants along the route.
  • Police and Carabinieri contained the corteo on the tangenziale, deploying charges, water cannons and tear gas to prevent access to the terminal.
  • Protesters threw bottles and firecrackers at officers, and some reportedly tossed tear gas back toward police lines.
  • A bicycle bloc entered the Torino‑Caselle raccordo and reached the tangenziale in an attempt to bypass cordons before being stopped.
  • Authorities reported at least one detention, businesses in Caselle closed as a precaution, and officers monitored the area with helicopter support.
