Protest Outside India High Commission in London Over India-Pakistan Crisis
A protest took place outside the India High Commission in London on May 7, 2025, with demonstrators waving Pakistani flags. The demonstration was a response to the escalating India-Pakistan crisis that unfolded earlier in the day, following India's missile strikes on Pakistan.
The protest was captured by AP and YONHAP, and it was part of the broader diplomatic tension and military conflict between the two countries in May 2025. Prior to this, members of the Indian diaspora had staged protests outside the Pakistan High Commission in London, expressing anger against Pakistan following a terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, in April 2025.
The presence of Pakistani flags outside the India High Commission suggests a counter-demonstration by pro-Pakistan groups in the UK, reflecting the heightened animosity and polarized diaspora responses during the India-Pakistan conflict in May 2025.
Meanwhile, President Lee Jae Myung of South Korea considers a trade deal with the U.S., including a $100 billion LNG purchase and tariff-free access for U.S. exports, a major diplomatic victory. However, South Korea is navigating a diplomatic dance between the U.S. and China as the tariff deadline approaches.
