They referred to the previous ruling by the UK's highest court in favor of the PMOI and a subsequent order by both houses of the parliament to remove the organization from the British blacklist last summer. Demonstrators demanded that the government should stress on the implementation of the rule of law in  upcoming meeting of the EU Council for renewed listing of the PMOI.

Some members of the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom including Lord Corbett of Castle Vale, Rt. Hon. Lord Archer of Sandwell QC – Former United Kingdom Solicitor General,  Lord Clarke of Hampstead, Mr. Brian Binley MP, and Mr. David Vaughan QC participated in the demonstrations.

Lord Corbett of Castle Vale, chair of the committee, said, "In the British parliament, we support your demands and stand with you."

Mr. Binley, a member of the House of Commons, praised the demonstrators' resolve and said, "You are running an excellent political campaign. It is certain that you will win at the end. We continue to support the genuine goals of the Resistance."
