Tehran, August 15 (ANI): Hundreds of Iranian University students gathered outside the British embassy in Tehran to protest against Britain's alleged suppression of a 'popular uprising' aimed at ousting the 'dictatorial royal regime'.
The protesting students were holding placards carrying anti- monarchy slogans. 'Death to the corrupt British monarchy', said one placard, 'Royal wedding equals economic austerity' proclaimed another.
The head of Iran's Basij street militia, Brigadier Mohammad Reza Naghdi, predicted last week that the 'popular awakening' in Britain was the beginning and would spread to the heart of Europe, The Scotsman reports.
"The world is now coming to the conclusion that Western civilisation has no foundation and is unreal," a senior parliamentarian, Parviz Sorouri was quoted, as saying.
Iranian authorities last week offered to send human rights observers to Britain and suggested that they wanted to deploy male and female units of Basij militia on the streets of London, Liverpool and Birmingham.
Naghdi said his forces could serve as a peacekeeping buffer between the 'deprived people' and 'the oppressive royal regime'. (ANI)
