Protest over Iran attacks

Anti-war activists will hold protests in the Capital today to warn against any moves to launch military attacks against Iran.

Demonstrators will gather at the east end of Princes Street to hand out leaflets to passers-by and urge them to sign petitions.

Similar events – organised by the Stop the War Coalition – are being held in London, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol and Newcastle upon Tyne.

The group said it was concerned that pressure was building for an attack on Iran, just as the war in Afghanistan was “unravelling”.
