Thousands of people protested in London and around Britain Saturday against Britain joining in bombing attacks on ISIS in Syria.
The UK Parliament will vote next week on whether to join with the US and France in launching air strikes on Syria. Prime Minister David Cameron is leading the push for bombing.
The UK protests are organized by the Stop The War Coalition movement, which is also holding a string of other demonstrations around Britain.
The Stop The War Coalition said in a statement. "The proposed vote in Parliament on bombing Syria by British forces is likely to take place within the next week. The vote is more likely following the terrible events in Paris. Yet this bombing will not stop terror attacks. Stop the War is opposed to this military response."
Cameron's previous government suffered a humiliating defeat in 2013 over launching military action against the Assad government and did not push for the UK to join in bombing Syria to a vote last year.
Current Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who is a founder of the Stop The War Coalition, opposes air strikes.
