Around 150 people staged a protest outside the Iranian embassy in London yesterday, demanding an end to the ongoing bombardment of PJAK bases by Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The attacks have recently wounded and displaced Kurdish civilians in border villages between Iran and Iraq.

The protest was organized by Freedom Umbrella, a Kurdish activist group based in London. In a statement the group condemned the bombardments, calling them an “illegal crime.”

Nearly 50 people had gathered outside the Iranian embassy when the protest began in the early afternoon. They were soon joined by 100 more demonstrators who came from a protest in front of the Turkish embassy against the jailing of Kurdish MPs in Turkey.

The protesters hoisted placards and banners, shouting slogans such as “Shame on you Islamic Republic of Iran… Stop shelling civilians.”
