A flashmob of photographers descended on Multrees Walk today to protest against the treatment of Stefan Karpa, who was escorted off the exclusive shopping street by security guards last week.
Karpa and around twenty photographers came to take snaps of the street, which is privately owned.
Police officers watched the protest closely, but did not intervene, even when they began taking photos on the private street itself.
Stephen Spray, a spokesman for Multrees Walk told Guardian Edinburgh that photos are not permitted for security reasons, as the street has been targeted for ram raids in the past - but Karpa says that his treatment was heavy handed and unjustified.
* We will bring you a full interview and video from the protest later this afternoon.
