Iranian flags flown in large pro-Palestinian rally in London

Marchers in a huge pro-Palestinian rally in London waved Iranian flags, as they called urgent aid to be sent to Gaza and for Israel to stop bombing Iran.

Thousands of people took part in the march through central London, which ended with speeches in Whitehall from figures including independent MP Jeremy Corbyn, former leader of the governing Labour party, and pop singer Paloma Faith.

Independent MP Zarah Sultana told the crowd: “This isn’t complicated, it’s not a conflict, it’s not self defence. It is colonisation, it is domination, it is genocide.”
