Pro-Palestine protesters marched through London on Saturday waving Iranian flags and chanting “stop bombing Iran”. The Telegraph has more.
Large crowds gathered in Parliament Square waving Palestinian and Iranian flags, while also demanding an end to the bombing in Gaza.
Protesters urged the Government to halt all military support for Israel and lobby the country to de-escalate its actions in the Middle East.
It comes after Israel launched a series of air strikes against nuclear and military sites in Iran on Thursday night.
Tehran then struck back on Friday with missile attacks on Tel Aviv.
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign announced an emergency protest earlier in the week which it publicised on social media, titled: ‘Emergency Protest: Stop Bombing Iran – Stop Arming Israel.’
In a post on X, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign shared a video which showed a large crowd chanting outside the houses of Parliament.
A post read: “Thousands in Parliament Square demanding our Government stop arming Israel and pressure it to stop bombing Iran and end its genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.”
Protesters also held placards which read “don’t attack Iran” amid other banners which read “stop arming Israel” and “ceasefire now”.
An Instagram caption from the group read: “As it commits genocide against the Palestinians, Israel is now bombing Iran. Join us to demand our Government stop arming genocidal Israel.”
