You recall how they arrested Safa in a demo outside Chatham House, was Safa threatening anyone? Was he attacking any person or business or building? He was exercising his right against his jailor who was being given VIP treatment. Why did the police act so unreasonable against Safa and yet run away from this mob?Azarmehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111103133622095142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15395285.post-51949018150170681062009-01-23T23:37:00.000-08:002009-01-23T23:37:00.000-08:00Exactly!

The march ended in Trafalgar Square, it was not supposed to take place from Trafalgar to Green Park.
