UNWELCOME
2. Syrian Ambassador's Wedding Invite Pulled
This would have been awkward. Syrian ambassador Dr. Sami Khiyami's
invitation to the royal wedding was pulled at the last minute in light
of the Syrian government's brutal crackdown on protesters. Kevan Jones,
the shadow defense minister, warned the royal family of the diplomatic
damage that would be done by the "horrific spectre of killing on the
streets of Syria while the Syrian ambassador is in Westminster Abbey for
the royal wedding." Labour politicians objected especially strenuously,
saying it "bordered on the grotesque" that Khiyami would be invited
while former Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were not. The
Foreign Office called Khiyami to withdraw his invitation this morning.
Asked if he was surprised, Khiyami said, "I wouldn't say surprised," but
the whole thing is "a bit embarrassing." Up to 450 pro-democracy
demonstrators have been killed in Syria in recent weeks.
