Nearly a dozen individuals have been detained near Stockholm following a protest at the Syrian embassy.
Tuesday morning saw members of the Syriac Union Party group break into the official Syrian diplomatic facility in Danderyd. Police arrived at the embassy just after 10:00 and reported that around 40 people were involved in the protest, although it’s not clear how many managed to enter the building.
Sven–Erik Olsson of the Stockholm police told the Aftonbladet news agency, “It seems as if people have got into the embassy. It can’t be ruled out that it is rowdy in there.”
Police continued to patrol the neighbourhood on Tuesday by car and helicopter. Officials said that arrests were made both inside and outside the embassy.
