Making a point: Protesters against
bombing in Syria had staged a large demonstration outside Parliament
ahead of the controversial vote
Anti-war
campaigners who had gathered to protest against British military action
in Syria broke down in tears and erupted into chants of 'shame on you'
followed by a minute's silence as MPs voted to bomb ISIS.
'Don't bomb Syria': Stop the War campaigners yelling 'David Cameron
shame on you' and 'no more war' held the protest outside Parliament
Loud
boos erupted from the crowd which had gathered outside the Palace of
Westminster in Parliament Square, central London, to hear the outcome of
the controversial Commons' vote - which saw MPs' back Prime Minister
David Cameron's plans 397 to 223, with a majority of 174.
Many
protesters could be seen sobbing and there were shouts of 'shame on
you' as news of the vote spread through the few hundred-strong crowd.
Upset: As
MPs voted overwhelmingly in favour of British military action in Syria,
anti-war campaigners who had been protesting in Parliament Square
against bombing ISIS broke down in tears. They also staged a minute's
silence after the vote was revealed in Parliament
Worry: Anti-war protesters reacted
furiously after MPs voted to bomb ISIS strongholds in Syria and loud
boos erupted from the crowd which had gathered outside the Palace of
Westminster to hear the outcome of the controversial vote. Military
action will now begin shortly
Last ditch: Stop the War protesters
threw themselves onto Parliament Square as they staged a 'die-in' in
opposition to bombing Syria
