Thousands of British-Iranians, Kurds and supporters of their cause formed a human chain across central London on Saturday 29 October.

The chain, stretching from Trafalgar Square through Whitehall to Westminster Bridge, was in solidarity with those in their homeland protesting for freedom and women's rights.

Demonstrations in Iran erupted over forty days ago after the death of Mahsa (Jina) Amini, a Kurdish woman who was taken into custody by the country's feared 'morality police' for being, in their view, inappropriately attired.

The crowd chanted, 'Azadi', 'Women, life, freedom', 'Freedom for Iran' and 'UK, stop supporting mullahs'.
