OTTAWA — The Syrian Embassy in Ottawa was splashed with what appears to be red paint on Saturday.

Protesters held a demonstration in front of the embassy, located in midtown Ottawa, about 10 blocks from Parliament Hill — Saturday morning to commemorate the 1982 Hama Massacre, an uprising in which thousands died, and the events that took place Friday in the Syrian city of Homs.
