Activists unveil giant banner in Madrid to demand ceasefire in Gaza
Rights and environmental activists demanding ceasefire in Gaza unfurled a giant picture of a Palestinian child crying for help above the entrance to Madrid's Reina Sofia museum, home to Pablo Picasso's painting "Guernica" that depicts the horrors of war.
In Wednesday's action, global campaigning group Greenpeace and Unmute Gaza movement that supports photojournalists reporting from the war zone, used a banner with an illustration by US artist Shepard Fairey based on an image taken by Gazan photographer Belal Khaled.
"Can you hear us?" read the caption, with "Ceasefire now" emblazoned below. Police and firefighters watched on without intervening.
Picasso's mural-sized masterpiece kept inside the modern art museum was inspired by a Nazi air raid on the northern Spanish town of Guernica in 1937 that killed as many as 1,600.
