Iran death toll mounts as UK calls for Ayatollah Khamenei’s regime to show restraint

Описание: The death toll in Iran mounted as protests continued to be brutally suppressed while the UK Government called for the Tehran regime to show restraint.

Hundreds of people have been killed and thousands detained in the uprising against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s rule.

In London, protesters returned to Iran’s embassy, toppling the flagpole outside the building.

It is the second day running the Iranian flag has been targeted at the embassy – on Saturday a protester scaled the front of the building to replace the flag with the pre-Islamic revolution lion and sun standard.

The Foreign Office rejected reports from Iran that the UK’s ambassador in Tehran Hugo Shorter was summoned over the flag incident, with sources insisting he merely “had a meeting” at the Foreign Ministry.
