(10 Dec 2016) The leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party was on Saturday interrupted by a human rights activist during a speech at an event in London.
Jeremy Corbyn was making an address on human rights abuses when activist Peter Tatchell accompanied by several others walked up to the stage in a Syria protest.
They held signs reading "Sanction Russia for war crimes, and "Suspend Syria from the UN" and "Back UK aid drops now" as they stood beside Corbyn.
In a brief speech, Tatchell demanded more action from the UK regarding the plight of civilians in the Syrian city of Aleppo.
Syrian forces backed by Russia and other allies have taken control in recent days of nearly all of the rebel stronghold in eastern Aleppo, which had been under opposition hands since 2012.
