LONDON, (PIC)-- Scores of Brits gathered outside Chatham House (Royal Institute of International Affairs) in London to protest the institute's reception of Israeli President Shimon Peres to mark 60 years of Israeli-British diplomatic ties.
Protesters shouted pro-Palestinian calls and condemned Israeli policies concerning Palestinians and called Peres a war criminal. They also demanded that Peres be arrested.
Peres began his visit to England Tuesday and arrived from Switzerland where he received condemnation by several rights groups who demanded he be arrested for war crimes committed during the 2008-2009 war on Gaza.
