Speaking outside the embassy, Zarah Sultana told protesters: ‘we will not be ignored again’
Thousands of protesters calling for the end of US and Israeli strikes on Iran have marched to the US embassy in central London.
Groups including the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), Stop The War, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the Muslim Association of Britain, the Palestinian Forum in Britain and Friends Of Al-Aqsa led the march to the embassy on Saturday afternoon, after gathering on Millbank, near Westminster.
Many protesters were carrying Iranian and Palestinian flags as well as portraits of Iran’s former supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, who was killed in the opening strike of the war last Saturday.
Some waved placards reading “Stop Trump’s Wars”, “Stop the War on Iran”, “Stop Arming Israel” and “No War on Iran”.
