Activists picket Iranian embassy in London over three years of Shahed terror on Ukrainian cities

This was reported to a Ukrinform correspondent by the Ukrainian Students Union.

The Ukrainian Students Union, together with the organizations “Support Ukraine” and “Women Fight 4 UA,” took part in the event, and well-known representatives of the Iranian diaspora also joined in, according to the statement.

Danylo Nikiforov, representative of the Ukrainian Students Union, said: “We protest against Iran’s continued support for Russia’s war machine and above all, their supply of Shahed drones that have terrorised Ukrainian cities for over three years. We  call on the UK government to shut down the known IRGC-linked “charities” spreading Tehran’s propaganda and helping fund the drones killing civilians."

Activists point out that large-scale Russian strikes using drones are carried out under license from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Meanwhile, two UK-registered charities, Dar Al Hekma Trust and Abrar Islamic Foundation, are currently under investigation by the Charity Commission and Counter Terrorism Police over serious allegations of links to terrorism, financial misconduct, and abuse of their charitable status.

"More and more Russian-Iranian drones are being launched every night because of this leniency of the British charity commission. How much longer must we let murder hide behind the mask of charity?" said Danylo Nikiforov.

As reported by Ukrinform, the US government announced sanctions against organizations and individuals in four countries that provided for the development and production of UAVs in Iran.
