Iran Press/ Europe: According to Iran press correspondent, demonstrators came to the streets of central London on Friday against the British government's environmental policies, including the expansion of the use of fossil fuels, and protested against these policies.
Demonstrators in London urged the British government's paying attention to the preservation and development of the environment.
It’s been four years since Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists brought parts of the English capital to a standstill, parking a pink boat in Oxford Circus and resulting in the UK parliament declaring a climate emergency.
XR and 200 other organizations, including Greenpeace and War on Want, are "demanding that the UK government stop the search for new fossil fuels immediately in a transition towards reparatory justice. This should be led by emergency citizens’ assemblies to let the people decide how to end the fossil fuel era quickly and fairly."
The coalition say that if government ministers fail to respond by the end of their protests, XR and allies will "step up their campaigns and actions across the country to force them to do so."
In a press conference, they said, "We will be taking more radical action because the clock is ticking for every human and non-human alive today. We are not going to stand quietly by while time runs out and we all face the worst suffering possible."
