Everyone will have seen in the news the daily protests in Tehran against the election results from last week. What has received less press coverage (or at least none i’ve seen) are the protests that have been taking place in London.
Since the weekend 100’s of people have gathered outside the Iranian Embassy in Kensington to protest against the fraudulent election. Many, if not most, are supporters of the leading opposition figure Mir-Hossain Mousavi. They are calling for either a genuine election recount or the annulment of the current result completely. From all I can tell the protests will continue to take place every evening between 6-9pm.
For more of my pictures from the protest, and to see some excellent and important coverage coming out of Tehran itself, head over to Demotix.com where they have a special feature on the Iran election and its aftermath.
