According to an exclusive report by the IRNA correspondent in London, protesters marched through the streets of the British capital and several major cities in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.
Waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans calling for an end to apartheid, the demonstrators denounced Israeli crimes against Gazans and called for a weapons embargo on the regime.
In London, the protesters marched on Parliament Square after gathering at Rossell Square, chanting slogans against the Israeli regime.
Ben Jamal, the director of the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, which was one of the organizers of the protests, told IRNA that the countrywide rallies send a solidarity message to the Palestinian people.
He said that the protesters demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a stop to the Israeli genocide there.
The protesters also want the British government to halt arms sales to Israel, he added.
Pressure has mounted against the London government to stop the sales after three British aid workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a humanitarian convoy in Gaza on April 1.
The Brits were among the seven workers of the leading charting group World Central Kitchen, who were killed in the strike.
The attack drew international uproar against the regime for its repeated targeting of aid personnel trying to deliver life-saving assistance to the people of Gaza, who are already starving due to Israeli restrictions on entry of basic supplies into the besieged territory.
