Protesters who barricaded themselves inside the Zimbabwean Embassy have been removed by the police.
About 10 demonstrators gained entry into the building on the Strand after posing as people who wanted to renew their passports.
They went in at about 0910 GMT and said they would not leave until they had met the ambassador.
Police had earlier said they were looking for a “peaceful resolution” to the matter.
Last week about 300 demonstrators from the opposition party Movement for Democratic Change gathered outside the Zimbabwean Embassy calling for the end of Robert Mugabe’s rule.
