(MENAFN) Demonstrators led by human rights activist Peter Tatchell disrupted a speech by the British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Saturday, calling for a more forthright stand against the bombing of east Aleppo.
In detail, Tatchell, previously a Labour supporter known mainly for LGBT rights activism, interrupted the speech to call on the leader to support air drops into the besieged Syrian enclave, despite the party's shadow foreign secretary already having voiced support for such a measure.
"What is happening in Aleppo is a modern-day Guernica," said Tatchell.
"We haven't heard the leader of the Labour party speak out enough to demand UK air drops to besieged civilians who are dying in their thousands."
