Iran democracy protesters clash with police outside London embassy as multiple arrests made

 Pro-democracy protesters clashed with police outside the Iranian embassy in London last night.

The Metropolitan Police issued an order demanding demonstrators vacate the area after those in attendance attempted to remove the regime's flag from the diplomatic building and replace it with the colours used by the country prior to the Islamic Revolution of 1979. 

Some protesters appeared to have been injured after confrontations with officers.
A number of people have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder, according to the Met Police.

In a statement, the capital's police force added: "During the ongoing protest at the Iranian Embassy this evening, a protester illegally accessed private property and climbed across multiple balconies onto the roof of the Embassy and removed a flag."He has since been arrested by officers on suspicion of criminal damage, trespass on diplomatic property and assaulting police.

"A section 35 order has been imposed as a result of ongoing disorder, including missiles being thrown at officers. Several officers have suffered injuries." The Iranian flag on top of the embassy building has been targeted on multiple occasions in recent days. Last weekend a protester successfully scaled the front of the building to replace the flag with the pre-Islamic revolution lion and sun standard.
