| Protesters storm into Syrian embassy in Berlin |
| 2011-10-09 |
| A group of about 30 stormed the Syrian embassy in Berlin early on Sunday and confronted the ambassador, police said. The break-in followed earlier demonstrations outside the embassy on Saturday. No one was arrested or injured. The protesters broke through a fence and rushed inside to confront the ambassador, who also resides at the embassy. Police said the embassy staff reacted calmly, and the protestors were merely taken from the scene. The incident followed a day of brutality in Syria, after security forces opened fire on a funeral for Kurdish opposition leader Mashaal Tammo, killed on Friday by masked gunmen in his home in north-eastern Syria. Protesters also picketed the Syrian embassies in London and Vienna on Saturday night. Five Syrian Kurds were also arrested in Geneva on Saturday night when they tried to enter the Syrian permanent mission to the UN. |
