Anti-war activists in the US, UK and many other countries have held a series of protests to protest President Donald Trump's attack on Syria.

"Without any legal privileges, openly violating international law, the Donald Trump administration launched an attack on Syria with the largest US Navy force since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, including US aircraft carrier and nuclear subscribers. The criminal attack by Donald Trump and the Pentagon on Syria is threatening all of us," Sputnik quoted the press release of the Unity for National Defense of War (UNAC) after airstrikes on the night of April 13 local time.

"It is time for us all to express our strong stance against the US bombings in Syria..." - the press release affirmed.

protests took place in Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit and Washington D.C on April 14 and New York, Oakland CA, Minneapolis, and dozens of other cities on April 15.

Meanwhile, in the UK, activists of the Stricken the War Coalition (STWC) held a protest outside Prime Minister Theresa May's palace, calling on her not to join the US-led alliance to attack Syria.

The protests presented a letter signed by a number of politicians, celebrities, scholars and union members saying that "military intervention by Donald Trump, Theresa May or Emmanuel Macron is not a solution".

According to STWC campaigners, foreign military intervention, including the UK, only aggravates and prolongs the Syrian conflict.

In Greece, Greek police said about 6,000-7,000 people marched in the center of the capital during a parade organized by the Communist Party of Greece, in protest of US-led joint attacks on Syria.

protests gathered at Syntagma Square in central Greece before marching to the US Embassy.
