Elaaheh Jamali, popularly known by her nickname Lily Moo, fled the Islamic Republic and is a well-known British-Iranian activist; she attended the protest as one of the speakers.
The Jewish group Stop the Hate joined forces with the Iranian Committee for Freedom to hold a rally near Downing Street in London on Sunday that drew about 3,000 people. Jewish activists and Iranian dissidents called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to ban the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
“We won’t forget who stood by us at the hardest time,” said a protester who gave only her first name, Bahar.
She said that she came out to the protest “for the people of Iran…We want a revolution… The Islamic Republic supports Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban, and any terrorist organization, but the people of Iran are different. We never support the terrorists—we want peace; we want love in the Middle East.
