Pro-Palestine protesters entered a BBC building in Belfast and the RTÉ campus in Dublin on Tuesday. Both protests voiced their criticism of the coverage of Israel’s war in Gaza.

The BBC building in the city centre was put into lockdown for a short period when protesters made their way on to the premises.

“Officers attended the scene and spoke with the crowd who then left the building and moved their protest outside. “No damage was caused and the protesters have since moved on from this area.”

    Unauthorized access is wrong

    Yeah, that’s the point. The Israeli government weren’t invited to destroy a section of the world map with their bombs, and their drones.

      “Pro Palestine” protests usually involve destruction or damaging of real estate, furnitures and other properties. I can understand them locking the building down to prevent excessive damage to their stuff they need to operate their main business.

      The BBC staff was fearing for their lives the protesters had a pro Palestine flag. The BBC practically experienced the Holocaust here show some empathy.
