Hundreds protest against planned Chinese embassy in London: Video
Hundreds gathered in London to protest against Beijing’s proposed new embassy at Royal Mint Court, a historic site owned by the Chinese government.
If approved, the facility would become the largest Chinese embassy in Europe.
Uyghur activist Rahima Mahmut voiced concerns over the project, calling it a threat to dissidents. “This site will be a hub for transnational repression. It will make it unsafe for activists like myself,” she said. “This huge embassy will enable China to extend its repression beyond its borders," she told the AFP.
