The Flames of Aleppo

Syrians and Syria Solidarity activists will picket the Bolshoi Ballet’s last performance of The Flames of Paris at the Royal Opera House in London on Saturday night (tonight). They will remind the audience of the conflagration of Aleppo: the revolution and siege there, and the role of Russia in the merciless aerial bombardment of Aleppo civilians.

The Bolshoi Ballet is one of Russia’s most prestigious state institutions. People need to be reminded that under this most benign facade the Russian state is responsible for thousands of civilian deaths in Syria in its effort to bolster the fortunes of Assad, a tyrant bent on seeing his country destroyed rather than surrender power.
