Every Saturday afternoon since 12 October 2002, the Zimbabwe Vigil outside the Zimbabwe Embassy in the Strand, London has protested against human rights violations in Zimbabwe. It also stages other events, lobbies Parliament and other bodies to end Mugabe's madness.

This vigil, which is not party policital but welcomes all who want to protest against the human rights violations in Zimbabwe takes place every Saturday from 2pm to 6pm.

I've been on several occasions and there have been between 50 and 100 people present, making it the largest regular demonstration in London. As you can see from the pictures there are usually people drumming and dancing. The pictures here were taken on March 8, 2008.

More pictures on My London Diary soon.
