Swedish activist to complete 5,000-km walk to Palestine on Thursday


A 25-year-old activist who set out to walk from Sweden to Palestine to raise awareness about human rights violations in the occupied territory hopes to complete his journey on Thursday.

Tomorrow I will make the final distance of my journey and arrive at the border of occupied Palestine," Benjamin Ladraa wrote Wednesday on Instagram.

"There is a big probability that the occupying Israeli soldiers will not let me enter Palestine so I have a favor to ask of everyone if this happens," he wrote, asking supporters to join him in raising awareness about human rights abuses committed by Israel against Palestinians.
