Pro-Palestinian demonstrators opposed to Israel’s participation in Eurovision amid its war with Hamas in Gaza hold a protest in Sweden’s Malmo, ahead of the final there tonight.
Some of the protesters demonstrate outside the Malmo Arena, where the song contest is being held. Images from the Swedish city show police escorting some demonstrators away from the area.
This morning in Finland, a group of about 40 protesters stormed the headquarters of public broadcaster YLE, demanding it withdraw from the song contest because of Israel’s participation.
