Protestors stage a sit-in at BBC Broadcasting House in London, Monday Jan. 26, 2009 to demonstrate against the BBC for refusing to broadcast an emergency fundraising appeal for people living in the Gaza Strip. The occupation followed criticism from lawmakers and religious leaders who said that the BBC’s decision not to air an advertisement from the Disasters Emergency Committee — a group of charities which includes the Red Cross, Oxfam, and Save the Children — was wrong.(AP Photo / Anthony Devlin, pa)
