Friends stage third protest at the British Museum

by Tara Craig 6th June 2014

London-based Friends staged a third protest at the British Museum on Tuesday 3 June.  A group of sixteen people held a silent Meeting for Worship in the building’s atrium as an act of witness in opposition to the role of BP as a corporate sponsor of the museum.  The protestors also distributed leaflets to visitors. There was a lot of interest from the public. The leaflets explained their actions: ‘We gather in stillness to show love for our earth, and our resistance to powers such as oil company BP, who sponsor British Museum exhibitions.’
