Iran to protest Britain violent crackdown

Iranian university students plan to gather outside the British embassy in Tehran to protest against violent operations by the UK police and government on protesters in the recent unrest across England.

The protest gathering will be held on Sunday afternoon and demonstrators will chant slogans against Britain's hostile policies against the oppressed Britons, Mehr news agency reported. 

The unrest in Britain began on August 6 in the north London suburb of Tottenham after a few hundred people gathered outside a police station to protest against the fatal shooting and killing of a black man, Mark Duggan, by the police. 

The protests have spread to England's major cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, and Bristol. Several people have also been killed during the government-ordered crackdown on protests. 

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has strongly condemned the violent attacks, saying, “The true opposition in Britain is the people that are pushed to the ground and beaten on London streets and slain and yet no one hears their voice."

Muslims to stage protest in Birmingham

The Muslim community in Birmingham has announced it will hold a peaceful protest on Sunday in memory of the three Muslims killed during the unrest.

The protest is planned to begin at 3:00pm BST at Summerfield Park in Dudley Road where the three Muslim men were mown down by a speedy car outside a mosque in Britain's second-largest city Birmingham's Winson Green area. 

Haroon Jahan, 21, Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, were part of an 80-strong group tasked with patrolling Dudley Road throughout night for fear of unrest affecting their mosque and the property of their community members due to the failure of police to rein in the raging violence. 

Some 200 people from Birmingham's Asian community held a vigil outside the hospital where one of the victims was taken for treatment. Birmingham's Muslims also said prayers as they gathered to grieve their loss in the holy month of Ramadan.
