Mrs Rajavi added that the regime understands no language but the language of firmness and determination, and urged the UK and Europe to ‘stop paying ransom to the Mullahs,’ calling specifically on the new UK government to support human rights in Iran.
During the march, a letter was also presented to Prime Minister Boris Johnson by a representative of the Barnet Anglo-Iranian Community of Youth, on behalf of the entire community, urging him to act.
