Topple the Tyrants is an activist group which occupied a London home belonging to Seif al-Islam, son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, in March 2011.[1] The home the group occupied is an eight-bedroom mansion in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, which had been listed by Seif as for sale for €12.75 million as the 2011 Libyan civil war began.[2]
As of 10 March, 2011, Scotland Yard had stated the issue was being treated as a "civil matter", and that no arrests had yet been made.[3]
On 17 March the Evening Standard reported that the squatters had on Saturday been offered £40,000 to move out. They say they are trying to raise funds for the charity World Medical Camp for Libya.
