SHAFAQNA- Iran’s ambassador to Britain, Hamid Baeidinejad, on Sunday rapped a few number of demonstrators that have blocked the only entrance of Iran’s Embassy in London and have restrained Iranian diplomats from entering into the building.
According to Shafaqna, Baeidinejad said in a tweet “A few demonstrators continue to block today sole entrance of Iran’s Embassy in London and prevented the diplomats to enter into the building. Saturdays and Sundays are working days in Iran and diplomatic staff arrange some parts of their work with their capital in these two days”.
In another tweet, Baeidinejad said that “entrance and pavement are the essential parts of the Iranian embassy building and need to be cleared of persons and media to ensure security and peace of mind for diplomats entering the embassy. Civil protest should be organized at the other side of street under police supervision.”
He said “despite several warnings to the British Police and Foreign Office, a number of people spent yesterday and last night in front of the embassy by blocking the way. Today, in addition to those individuals, the media also gathered in front of the embassy to make reports. The pavement in front of the embassy is still blocked and it is not possible for the diplomats to move.”
The ambassador’s complaint came after the husband of Nazanin Zaghari, a dual Iranian-British citizen jailed in Iran on espionage charges, spent Saturday night in a tent outside the Iranian Embassy in London, in an apparent attempt to secure the release of his wife, Tasnim news agency told.
