Watch giant Syrian refugee puppet Little Amal make her way through Leeds
- 2 years ago
Large crowds gathered in Leeds this evening to welcome Little Amal to the city centre on Monday.
The giant puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee made her way from Briggate to Millennium Square, joined by brass bands, drummers and hundreds of onlookers.
Little Amal, designed to highlight the plight of child refugees, became an international symbol of human rights after she journeyed from the Turkish-Syrian border to Manchester last July.
