Marches against recent military strikes by the United States, the United Kingdom and France are scheduled to take place in Rome, Milan and Florence on April 16-18.
After the US, the UK and France launched missile strikes on a number of targets in Syria on Saturday morning in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma, in Eastern Ghouta, multiple rallies were held in the United States and Britain, protesting the attack.

While Western states have been blaming the Syrian government forces for the incident, Damascus has denied using chemical weapons.
