Around 20,000 pro-refugee demonstrators took to the streets on London yesterday to call on Prime Minister Theresa May to do more to tackle the migrant crisis. Protesters marched down the affluent Park Lane and the central thoroughfare Piccadilly carrying an array of colourful placards and shouting slogans.
The event was organised by Solidarity with Refugees, and was supported by groups including Amnesty International, Oxfam, Medecins Sans Frontieres, the Refugee Council and Stop the War Coalition. It comes ahead of tomorrow’s UN Summit for refugees and migrants in New York.
