Senior MP: Recent Unrests in Britain Result of London's Vicious Acts

TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian legislator condemned suppression of protests by the British security forces, and reiterated that the recent unrest in the European country is the result of London's vicious acts in the other countries.
"The unrests that have entangled Britain are the results of the country's vice," member of the parliament's Planning and Budget Commission Ali Borouqani told FNA on Wednesday.

"The world arrogance has always attempted to create insecurity in the third world countries and now it itself is entangled with massive protests," Borouqani underlined.

The British Police announced on Tuesday they had arrested more than 200 people in the worst night of unrest so far and more than 450 overall after the British protestors poured to the streets to protest at the killing of a young black citizen by the police.

The unrests started on Saturday night in Tottenham in North London following protests over the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old black man, Mark Duggan, by the police.

Tottenham is an impoverished area with an ethnically diverse population, a large black community and a history of unrest. Some residents resent police behavior, including the use of stop and search powers, which they say are primarily targeted at black youths.

In the third night, the unrests spread across London and into other parts of the UK, including Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham and Bristol.

David Cameron, the British prime minister, chaired an emergency security meeting on Tuesday to discuss the unrests.

Some newspapers have blamed the unrests on racial violence while others have pointed to the economic crisis.

Many have alluded to the threat of future violence at the forthcoming 2012 Olympics due to take place this time next year.

USA Today said it was the worst unrest since race riots set the capital ablaze in the 1980s.

"The spreading disorder was an unwelcome warning of the possibility of violence during London's 2012 Summer Olympics, less than a year away," it said.
