Round badge with five alternating yellow and green horizontal stripes, with "Hands Off Grenada!" in red in the central yellow stripe. In 1983, the US invaded Grenada following a coup by the Revolutionary Military Council, during which Grenadaâs Prime Minister Maurice Bishop was arrested and executed. The United Nations General Assembly condemned it as "a flagrant violation of international law" on 2 November 1983, and it was widely protested across Europe.
