I snapped these protesters in South Frederick Street. I couldn't see exactly where the offices of Astra Zeneca were located, but obviously these people have done their homework and have tracked them down and want to draw attention to this company's policies re experiments on live animals for scientific purposes.
And as we mark the anniversary of the massacre of protesting students in Tiananmen Square in 1989 it is worth remembering that in a democracy it is always possible to stage street protests like this one!

Hi :)
Greetings:)
This appears to be silent protest. A nice way to demonstrate the objections and bring it to the notice of the general public.
The building looks very lovely and unique.
While I agree with the protesters concern, I also understand the need to experiment on animals to get effective remedies for human ailments. Many path breaking discoveries and inventions in the medical field were made by such experiments.
In India, which is the largest democracy in the wold, 10 people are enough to block the national highway for at least 1 hour.
Have a lovely day, my friend:)
