Being demonstrated against

Hi

Is the red part fully natural?

The Prime Minister was being demonstrated against throughout the country.

(=there were protests against her by the public)

Thanks,

Tom

Mr. Tom Is the red part fully natural? I wouldn't be surprised to hear it, but it is convoluted, the kind of thing you say when you start a sentence and then realize too late that the grammar won't let you finish it the way you imagined you'd be able to when you started.
