Moscow residents have held a protest rally outside the
UK’s embassy.
On Friday evening, about 500 people came to the British embassy
in Moscow to protest against Thursday’s action in London, TASS
said.
On Thursday, British protesters blocked Russia’s embassy in
London, dumping mannequin body parts outside it. Some people
handcuffed themselves to the embassy’s gate. The action was staged
in protest of Russia’s operation in Syria. Earlier, Foreign
Secretary Boris Johnson had encouraged to hold protests outside the
Russian diplomatic missions in the UK.
In Moscow, the protesters were holding banners in English and
Russian: ‘No double standards,’ and ‘Our diplomats are
untouchable.’ Apart from that, they put up boards with attached
lists of the military operations British troops had been fighting
in and sprinkled them with red paint symbolizing blood.
It was a second protest outside the UK’s embassy in Moscow.
