Syrian refugee 'felt oppressed' by Stop the War protest

A Syrian refugee who was shouted down at a Stop the War demonstration says he "felt oppressed" by the group.

The protest in Downing Street on Friday evening was against the American attack on a Syrian airbase.

Hassan Akkad, from Damascus, asked why the group was not protesting against President Assad instead, but was drowned out.

He said: "British people not letting a Syrian say something about Syria in a protest about Syria. It's mad."

Yes, it is mad, Mr. Akkad.

So, he wants the right to hijack a protest? he can hold his own.

I think you're confusing "hijack" with "tell the truth from personal experience".
