Sept. 2 (UPI) -- A nearly four-hour standoff on Tuesday ended in London after a man climbed the clock tower at King's Cross train station with a dog in protest over freedom for Iranians.
Around 10 emergency personnel with two fire engines and a cherry picker were called at around 8:14 a.m. local time to assist with the situation, according to officials.
The unidentified demonstrator wore a black to-shirt saying "no to war" and had a banner with the logo of pro-democracy group Freedom Movement of Iran, which is outlawed the Iranian regime in Tehran.
The unfurled banner written in the Farsi language that in English said: "Iran belongs to its people. Freedom for Iran. Every deal with them against human rights. Dictators exert terror and poverty."
