Sixty members of the World Union of Jewish Students demonstrated outside the Syrian Arab Airlines office here yesterday to protest what they called the oppression and brutal treatment of the 4,500 Jews remaining in Syria. A spokesman for the group said the airline office was the target because there is no Syrian Embassy in London. Similar demonstrations have occurred in Amsterdam and Copenhagen.
