The Edinburgh protest went well - I lost count of exactly how many people 
turned up.  At least 15 people appeared at some point during the day, 
although we didn't number any more than about 10 at any one time.

We distributed leaflets, and had people sign the petition to the US Attorney 
as we explained the issues.  We marched up to the US consulate chanting, 
'Free Dmitry, Free Speech' and rang their doorbell.  Sadly there were only 2 
people inside and neither would come out from behind the security door to 
talk to us.

There's a bunch of photos of the event in chronological order at

coming!
