Story

Eyewitness footage shows British police officers detaining and pushing Iranian demonstrators gathered outside the Embassy of Iran in London on Friday night Jan 16,2 206, as Iranians protested against Iran’s Islamic regime. The video shows officers using force to disperse protesters of different ages during the demonstration. The reasons for the police intervention are not fully clear from the footage alone. The Metropolitan Police have not yet released a detailed statement explaining the circumstances of the clashes. Protests by members of the Iranian diaspora have taken place in London on multiple occasions in response to developments inside Iran, sometimes requiring a police presence to manage public order.
