Per SVT-TV (Swedish), 150 demonstrators protested at the Iranian Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, this afternoon. Some were able to get by security and subsequently damaged the building and attacked staff members. Twenty police patrols were sent to the scene to control the situation.

Roya Hakimnia (@royah), a 24-year-old student, was at the rally, according to Sydsvenskan.se. She told the newspaper that “Ten or twenty demonstrators broke through the fence [and] entered the embassy area.”

Hakimnia’s Twitter feed provided live tweets from the scene in Stockholm.
