Genoa solidarity demo in London (report/pic)

A demo of 150 people garthered outside the Italian embassy at 18:00 sunday evening, to show their solidarity with the protestors in Genoa. The crowd stood in silence with occasional chants of 'assasins' and 'death to the state' went out as the police tried to pen the crowd in a small area. After an hour the whole crowd moved as one round to the other side of the embassy, confusing the following vans. At 19:15 the police have 'section 60'ed' the whole group and are threatening to photgraph and search everyone.

I just wrote the General Counselate of Italy to protest the police action in Genoa. I copied the President of the US, Secretary of State, US Ambassador to the UN, and the Secretary General of the UN.

I would be happy to write the British Consulate in New York City to protest the police action against those who stood in solidarity with those standing and fallen in Genoa.

A post of the British Consulate emails, like that of the Italian, would be great.
