GENEVA, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Police sprayed tear gas on protesters in #Geneva, Switzerland on Thursday evening as they marched in support of the #Gaza flotilla, eyewitnesses told Reuters, which the police confirmed.

“We were retreating and suddenly got heavily gassed,” an eyewitness told Reuters, describing a burning sensation in their eyes and difficultly breathing.

#Israel’s interception of the flotilla sparked protests in Geneva and Bern, as well as in Italy and Colombia on Thursday.

Israeli forces intercepted around 40 boats carrying aid and more than 400 foreign activists, including some Swiss nationals, and Swedish campaigner #GretaThunberg, to Gaza.
