Further protests outside Zamastanian Embassy take place
12th November 2019

Climate Alliance Lauchenoiria today protested outside the Zamastanian Embassy after Zamastan announced an oil import and military protection treaty with United New England (UNE) yesterday. This is the second protest in six days, following a demonstration last Thursday outside both the Zamastanian and Shen embassies regarding a deal between the pair to open a Zamastanian factory in Shen.

Two protesters were arrested after attempting to breach a police cordon and approach the embassy buildings, however they were later released without charge. A source within the Buttercity Police Department has indicated that new regulations were handed to the police on Sunday indicating that they should prevent protests outside embassies disrupting the passage of persons visiting said embassies. As a result, the Climate Alliance protesters were restricted to the other side of the street from the embassy.

A spokesperson for Climate Alliance Lauchenoiria said: “the Zamastanian government continue to ignore the climate crisis, making more and more deals that will add to the destruction of our planet. Even now that Anya Bishop has been ousted, they continue to try and make things worse. It is our duty as human beings to call them out and make sure they know we will not stand idly by and watch them steal our future. Shame on them.”

Last week’s protest on Thursday passed without incident at the Zamastanian embassy, causing protesters to move on to the Shen embassy, where the Shen ambassador invited a group inside to discuss climate issues. This move, which broke up the protest early, has been praised by some on social media, with moderate environmental groups praising Ambassador Zhang Xiao for being willing to listen, “unlike those in Zamastan and Xiomera.”
