Australian Court Rejects Russia's Bid to Block Embassy Eviction

Australia's High Court dismissed Russia's request for an injunction to prevent eviction from a site for building a new embassy in Canberra
The court deemed Moscow's challenge to eviction as "weak" and "difficult to understand"
The Australian government canceled the lease and passed a law preventing a Russian embassy from being built on the site
A Russian diplomat squatted at the site for several nights but ultimately left
The proposed embassy site was close to Parliament House, raising security concerns
