Code Pink, Yemenis protest Saudi King, disrupt Saudi investment forum
On the 4th of September, Saudi King Salman visited the White House. His country is waging war on the people of Yemen and flogging people for trifles. Outside the White House, Code Pink and Yemenis protested that he would have the nerve to show his face in the US. Afterwards they marched to a nearby Saudi investment forum and protested again. Medea Benjamin was dragged out of that event after managing in classic Code Pink style to get inside.
Code Pink was calling for the release of jailed blogger Raif Badawi and an end to flogging (like what happened to Raif) as well as an end to Saudi intervention in Yemen's civil war.
