Iran Live News | London solidarity with Iranian people
Iranian gather out-side of Islamic Republic Embassy in kensington avenue, London to mark thier solidarity with recent Iranian up-rising in Tehran and Iranian major cities.
Iran -- still reeling from the massive demonstration that followed the country's disputed presidential election -- on Wednesday will commemorate November 4, 1979, when a group of Islamist students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 53 hostages and effectively ending diplomatic relations with the United States. Dozens of Americans were held against their will for 444 days.
While the government will allow the "faithful" to celebrate the anniversary of the hostage crisis, those who "intend to gather illegally and spread lies among people who gather to peacefully participate ... will be held responsible for their actions," said Ahmad Reza Radan, head of Iran's security forces, according to the semi-official Iran Student Correspondent Association.
