Witnesses said the protestors carried placards and banners and shouted slogans against the junta amidst tight police security.
They chanted slogans: "We Want Democracy", "No Need of Military Constitution", "Stop Killings in Burma" and "Release Political Prisoners".
Scores of police were posted in and around the embassy area to maintain peace during the protest.
They staged protests for about 15 minutes from 11am. No untoward incident took place during the protest.
