When you are on EU embassy (Any Embassy of country in the EU) then it is considered sovereign territory of that country, where laws of that country applies. So answer is yes.
- op00to 3y agoNo, that is incorrect.
- TheLoafOfBread 3y agoSo British laws apply in Iranian embassy in London? No they don't
- op00to 3y agoProof? The embassy operates within the UK and must respect British laws, but the UK authorities have limited rights to enter the embassy premises or exert jurisdiction over those premises without permission from the embassy's country (Iran, in this case). For criminal matters or serious breaches of law, the host country and the embassy's country typically engage in diplomatic discussions to resolve the issue.

Nobody, because it is Saudi's territory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Jamal_Khashoggi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Jamal_Khashog...
