Anti-war activists block UK Foreign Office in London

Palestinians, Lebanese, Iraqis, and Afghanis continue to be killed as a direct result of UK foreign policy. We will not stand as passive spectators to such crimes. We must do more than state-sanctioned marches.

These sentiments were the common thread that tied over 50 anti-war activists together as they stood arm in arm in a solid and strong blockade of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office for two hours on Monday morning. The Foreign Office was targeted as a department that is entirely complicit in the ongoing wars, occupations and injustice abroad.

At 8am activists arrived at the Foreign Office and unravelled an enormous banner that spanned the width of the road and impressively dominated the blockade. For the next two hours activists collectively blocked the entrance to the Foreign Office on Whitehall. The banner relayed a clear message to those attempting to enter their offices: "You Have Blood On Your Desks."
