About a hundred people picketed outside the Woodstock Police Station in Cape Town on Sunday to demand justice for a woman who was assaulted during a pro-Palestine protest.
Anthea Houston, Chief Executive Officer for social housing agency Communicare, was among a group of pro-Palestine picketers on the roadside during the Cape Town Marathon on 15 October.
‘We demand a thorough successful investigation. The runner must have his day in court and explain why he hit her like that,’ said Pandy. Houston’s family believes she was assaulted because she supported Palestine and was wearing a headscarf during the picket amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
