Meryl Streep's 'Suffragette' premier in London was disrupted by a group of women protesters, who demonstrated against Parliament's decision on domestic violence.

The women, who were part of a group called Sisters Uncut, jumped over barriers to lie down on the red carpet, expressing outrage over Parliament's decision to cut funding for domestic violence services and had to be carried away by security, TMZ reports.

It's unclear if the protesters had issues with the film or just used the venue to piss on the Parliament.

As of now, it is not clear if the 66-year-old actress was present at the red carpet.
