Demonstrators chained themselves to the Uzbek Embassy earlier today and daubed the building in paint in protest against the alleged murder of hundreds of civilian protestors by the government in Andijan last Friday and in Pakhtabad on Saturday.

This is how the building looked when I walked past earlier.

According to the website Muslim Uzbekistan, a larger demonstration has been planned for tomorrow.
