[Free-sklyarov-uk] Protests

[Dan Ackroyd]

Here is a link to a map showing how the exact location of the embassy:

The embassy is in Grovesnor Square just above the red circle, where USA is
marked. The Canadian embassy is on the other side of the square.

Definitely and it shows more commitment as people will have to take time off
work to attend. It might be good to push the start time back to 1.00pm from
12.00 as people based in London would then be able to attend by just taking
an afternoon off, not a whole day. (sorry if that sounds lame, making it
more convinient, but it would good to get as many people as possible.)

The embassy is right by Hyde park.

So, even if Embasssy is a bust, Hyde park should be full of happy tourists
just dying to sit in the park and learn a bit about wacky americans and
imprisoned russians.

This begs an important question - is it really worthwhile to protest
outside an empty Embassy?  Would it be better to try to arrange the
protest for Friday for it to have a more useful effect?

It would be useful to know how many people could make Friday.  Similarly,
if anyone can think of a useful place to hold the protest on Saturday as
an alternative to the Embassy, we should probably consider it.
