"Red carpet festival" for human rights opens in Gaza The 3rd edition of the "Red Carpet" festival opened Friday evening at a Gaza seaport, a festival which will screen films about human rights. Palestinians walked a symbolic 100-metre red carpet, representing 100 years since the Balfour declaration, to the sound of songs and slogans calling for freedom, the lifting of the siege on Gaza and an end to the Palestinian divide.
