Human Rights Day Pilgrimages for Syria

London, Tue 10 Dec 2013

 

 
 They were late for the time that had been agreed for Maria to hand in a letter

 and waited for a few minutes outside

 before leaving her to wait until the police were going to let her deliver her message

 The others walked around to hand in another letter at the Foreign Office

 

 From there they went to Parliament Square and posed in front of the Houses of Parliament

 where I left them on their way to visit the Mandela statue and go on the the Chinese embassy

 The other group of pilgrms had started in Kensington, with short protests at the Russian and Israeli embassies

 before visiting others. I just missed them at the Saudi and Iraqi embassies, but caught up with them outside the
Omani embassy which handles Iranian interests.

 From there we went on to the Kuwaiti and French embassies

 
 
And then the two groups of pilgrims met at the US embassy, along with a few others including 

peace pilgrim Earthian, who has been on a peace pilgrimage in the Middle East and Britain since October 2012
on foot without money, passport or visas and had also called at a number of embassies around London today.
