The Stop the War Coalition today issued a strong public condemnation of Donald Trump’s decision to launch attacks against Syrian targets, and called an emergency demonstration outside Downing Street this evening (Friday the 7th).
The condemnation comes in the wake of Trump’s decision to launch a cruise missile attack on a Syrian airfield in response to the chemical weapons attack that took place earlier this week. The US airstrikes, which took place this morning, mark the first time the US has become a direct combatant against the Syrian regime.
The group issued the following statement: “This action will only increase the level of killing in Syria, and inflame the terrible war that has already caused untold misery for the people of the country.
“Stop the War calls for protests today against this or any further attacks and against British support or participation.”
The protest in London will take place today, Friday the 7th, at Downing Street from 5 to 7pm.
