Millions of people have been protesting outside Israeli and US embassies worldwide to mark one year of genocide against the Palestinians. On Oct 12, 2024, tens of thousands braved the scorching sun, followed by thunderstorms, as they marched to the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur, before being stopped about 300 metres from the heavily guarded complex.

Protesters prevented from approaching the US embassy to hand over a memorandum.

Lawyers for Liberty is shocked that police detain people for speaking out against genocide.

A silent protest was held outside the event venue to protest Washington's continued supply of weapons to Israel.

The focus on Al-Quds, or Jerusalem, is due to its symbolisation of Palestinian unity.

Brian McFeeters, who previously served at the US embassy from 2009 to 2011, replaces Kamala Shirin Lakhdhir.

The migrants, who include members of vulnerable minorities, are set to be repatriated aboard three vessels sent from Myanmar, where the military seized power at the start of February.
