Protesters storm Sri Lankan embassy in Norway
A group of Tamil protesters stormed the Sri Lankan embassy in Oslo on Sunday, police said, on the fifth day of demonstrations in the Norwegian capital calling for the end of fighting in Sri Lanka. Even Joerstad, an Oslo police superintendent, told AFP that around 100 Tamil demonstrators tried to storm the Sri Lankan embassy at 1400 (1300 GMT) and that an unknown number managed to break in. “There were about 100 outside but we don’t know how many went inside the embassy,” Joerstad said. “They were inside for about four or five minutes and then they went out,” he said, adding that the protesters broke windows and furniture inside the building.
Note EU-Digest: This is unacceptable, specially since it occurred in Norway, which supposedly should have a properly functioning security service protecting foreign embassies. Hopefully the vandals who do not have Norwegian nationality will be kicked out of the country and those which have the Norwegian nationality will be locked-up.
