Protesters Take To London Streets Against Iranian Govt. As They Target Embassies

 Thousands take to London streets as protests against Iranian regime spread around the world: Demonstrators target 'terrorist factory' embassies and call for revolution in Tehran as mullahs kill hundreds in bloody crackdown

Thousands took to the streets of London on Sunday as protests against the Iranian regime and the brutal crackdown by its security forces spread around the world.

Activists now say that the death toll from the brutal suppression of nationwide demonstrations in the Middle Eastern nation is at least 538 people.

Meanwhile more than 10,600 people have been detained, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency has claimed.

Demonstrators rallied in London, Paris and Istanbul on Sunday in support of the protests in Iran that have been countered with lethal force.

In London the rally began in front of the Iranian embassy in South Kensington before uprooting to Whitehall, at the heart of British government.

The demonstrators demanded that Labour close what they called 'the Mullah's embassy' - branding it a 'terrorist factory'.

Later in the evening images showed people throwing objects towards the embassy and the police intervening to stop protesters scaling the embassy's perimeter wall.

Footage showed the masses marching outside Downing Street and burning images of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Others waved the country's old pre-Islamic flag with its distinctive Lion and Sun emblem.

Many protesters carried placards carrying the image of exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi, who fled to the US with his father, the deposed Shah, after the Islamic Revolution in 1979 - who many believe should be the nation's next leader.

'We want revolution, change the regime,' Afsi, a 38-year-old Iranian, who declined to give her last name, said during the rally in front of Downing Street.

She has lived in London for seven years but has not been able to contact her family in Iran because of an internet blackout imposed by authorities since Thursday, she said.

'It's so frustrating, but it's not the first time,' Afsi added. 'This time, we have hope... we feel like we can do it this time.'

Another demonstator in London, Fahimeh Moradi, 52, said she was taking part 'to support the Iranian people who are killed and murdered by the Iran regime - we don't want the Islamic Republic of Iran, we hate them!'
