Iranian protesters staged a demonstration in front of the Iranian embassy in central London, waving the pre-1979 national flag, known as the “Lion and Sun” flag, in a government-criticizing protest. The protesters climbed onto the embassy’s balcony and took down the current Iranian flag, replacing it with the pre-revolution flag, which was commonly used by opposition groups in Iran.
