Students from various universities in Tehran staged a protest opposite the British Embassy in Tehran to express their anger at Britain's role in drawing up the latest IAEA resolution against Iran last week.
Moments after the gathering of students around the British Embassy, the protest turned violent as anti-riot police tried to disperse the crowd from nearing the British embassy. The police had to use force against those who resisted police calls to disperse from the area, which left scores of people hurt and injured.
Reports also say that some students were throwing tomatoes inside the compound of the British embassy. The police finally resorted to tear-gas which successfully dispersed the students from around the embassy.
The students who were calling for Iran's right to enjoy peaceful nuclear technology chanted anti-American and anti-British slogans.
