Insights
1Metropolitan Police Allegedly Obstructed Anti-IRGC Protest
The host repeatedly stated that the Metropolitan Police actively blocked a second group of Iranian protesters from joining the main demonstration, despite the entire area being designated for the protest. This led to arguments between organizers and police, with accusations of creating unnecessary barriers.
The police blocked the road, didn't want them to join. But if the whole crowd started chanting, let them come and then they opened the roads for them. () ... The Met Police have formed the line between the barrier and the other group. () ... The police are still trying to remove that group. ()
2UK Government Refuses to Designate IRGC as Terrorist Organization
A primary grievance of the protesters was the UK government's refusal to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization, despite the US, Canada, and the EU having done so. Speakers highlighted this as a betrayal, claiming London serves as a 'home of the IRGC' and that their members were allowed to march freely the previous day.
This city, the capital of the United Kingdom, which is currently the home of the IRGC, not just because Britain refuses to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization. () ... They allowed yesterday the IRGC members and Hezbollah members to freely march the streets of the city. () ... The United Kingdom refused to do it. ()
3Criticism of UK Government's Hypocrisy on Legislation
A speaker criticized the UK government's perceived hypocrisy, noting that while they can pass emergency legislation in 17 minutes (e.g., for COVID-19 lockdowns), they claim designating the IRGC would require new legislation taking a year or more, potentially until late 2026.
Don't forget this is the same government that took about 17 minutes to put through an emergency legislation to force you to stay at home to save the NHS. They can do that. But the message to Iranians inside and outside Iran, don't worry. The regime in Iran is falling anyway. ()
4Call for Recognition of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi
Several speakers and chants advocated for the recognition of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as the rightful leader of Iran, framing the protest as a 'rescue mission' for 90 million Iranians held hostage by the current regime.
It's time for the British government to recognize the crown prince Razabi as a rightful leader of Iran. () ... The mission of our beloved Crown Prince King. () ... There's only one leader. King Razi. King Razi. ()
Lessons

- Advocate for international recognition of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as the legitimate leader of Iran.
