An Iranian protester has scaled London‘s King’s Cross station and unfurled a banner demanding action from Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Emergency services rushed to the scene just before 9am at the busy station in central London where the protestor scaled the main building, beneath the clock tower.
The banner reads: ‘Prime Minister of the UK, the Islamic Republic killed over 440,000 people in just two days.
‘This regime has no legitimacy, expel its diplomats. Uphold democracy.’
Police and firefighters are at the scene where the protester climbed the 120ft London this morning.
Video footage shows an activist wearing black clothing holding onto the large poster.
All trains are still running normally at the station.
Sir Keir Starmer has refused to proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, despite heavy pressure from the White House and European leaders.
The protester raised his arms after securing the banner in place, which criticised the UK Government’s response to the Iranian regime’s murder of thousands of protesters

The death toll from the anti-government protests in Iran, which began on December 28, were previously estimated to be between 16,500 and 18,000.
But new figures suggest the figure is much higher at about 33,100.
Reza Pahlavi, the exiled Crown Prince of Iran much feared by the current regime, under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, expressed his frustration earlier this month with the UK Prime Minister, saying: ‘Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been all but silent on the plight of the Iranian people.
‘I can’t imagine him being silent in previous eras about the struggle against apartheid and for Solidarity in Poland.
‘A free Iran will be a force for stability and prosperity for the world. It is in the British interest as well as ours.’
Earlier this month, a protestor climbed the roof of the Iranian embassy in London, removing the Islamic Republic’s flag and replacing it with the pre-revolution Lion and Sun flag.
The demonstrators demanded that Labour close what they called ‘the Mullah’s embassy’ – branding it a ‘terrorist factory’.
Footage showed the masses marching outside Downing Street and burning images of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Protests in Iran began on December 28 over the ailing economy and have transformed into the most significant challenge to the regime for several years.
The internet and telephone lines have been cut off, but footage of events in Tehran and other cities has circulated widely on social media.
