Gay activist Peter Tatchell escorted from Holocaust Memorial
Peter Tatchell denies his protest at the commemoration was inappropriate. Nevertheless, he was ejected from a Holocaust service at Westminster marking the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz where over 1 million people were killed under the Nazis. Tatchell was apparently protesting against Conservative asylum proposals and shouted "never again, today means not closing our doors to refugees fleeing persecution." Anyway, Scotland Yard said he was detained and escorted from Westminster Hall but he was not arrested. The event at Westminster Hall was attended by hundreds of holocaust survivors and veterans of World War II.
