LONDON, ENGLAND
Thousands of angry demonstrators gathered in a protest across the Iran Embassy in London amidst uprisings sparked by a two-fold increase in gasoline prices.
Following a 50% abrupt increase in gasoline prices and a century-long build up of oppression, uprisings errupted in the Islamic Repbulic of Iran where countless gas stations were burnt in protests.
According to the registered statistics by the Hengaw Human Rights Organisation, 45 Kurdish civilians lost their lives after coming under direct fire of the Iranian Armed Forces while over 500 were injured, during Saturday and Sunday protests, in 14 cities across only Rojhilat (East) Kurdistan.
The action which was organised by numerous Iranian parties and PJAK, the Kurdistan liberation movement based in Rojhilat of Kurdistan, comes after centuries of Kurdish hostility by the Iranian regime with monthly statistics of executed-Kurds standing at 200.
