Protests started in front of the British embassy in Tehran at 14:00 local time (1030 GMT) with Iranian students, carrying pictures of the country's assassinated university professors and scientists Majid Shahriari and Massoud Ali Mohammadi.
Protestors chanted anti-US and Britain slogans and blasted London and Washington's support for terrorist groups and operations against Iran.
Two Iranian university professors Fereidoon Abbasi Davani and Majid Shahriari were assassinated in separate terrorist bomb attacks here in Tehran on November 29 with the latter killed immediately after the blast.
Another Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, was also assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack in Tehran in January.
On Saturday, Iranian Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar once again underlined that the US, Israeli and British spy agencies have been directly involved in the recent terrorist attacks against the country's scientists.
Iranian students also carried pictures of the recent violence in Britain, and condemned violation of human rights by the British police and mistreatment of university students.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki on Saturday lashed out at the British police for their harsh tactics against large groups of students protesting at the government's plans for tripling university fees.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran carefully monitors developments in Britain and believes that it is a source of despair that the (university) students who sought to raise their union demands were beaten on the international day of human rights," Mottaki said.
The British police treatment of tuition fee protesters has turned into a major scandal for Scotland Yard as video footages emerged showing mounted officers charging into the crowd.
Also during the demonstrations in front of the British embassy in Tehran, Iranian students voiced their anger at London's hostile policies towards Iran, specially the recent interfering remarks on Iran's human rights conditions.
In a memo on December 9, Simon Gass, the British Ambassador to Iran, criticized human rights situations in Iran, and said, "The British Government will continue to draw attentions to cases where people are deprived of their fundamental freedoms."
Earlier today, Head of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh blasted the negative role of the British ambassador to Tehran, and asked the country's foreign ministry to expel him from Iran.
"Based on our experience of consular and diplomatic relations, the British ambassador is now considered as an 'unfavorable element'," Falahatpisheh told FNA.
"Based on international conventions, specially the (Vienna) Convention on Diplomatic and Consular Relations, we are now in a position that we can expel the British envoy to Tehran form the country based on these conventions," he explained.
Following Britain's support for a group of wild demonstrators who disrespected Islamic sanctities and damaged private and public amenities and properties on December 27, 2009, members of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission drafted bill of a law requiring the country's Foreign Ministry to cut relations with Britain.
The British government's blatant stance and repeated remarks in support of the last year unrests inside Iran and London's espionage operations and financial and media support for the opposition groups are among the reasons mentioned in the bill for cutting ties with Britain.
Iran has repeatedly accused the West of stoking post-election unrests, singling out Britain and the US for meddling.
Tehran expelled two British diplomats and arrested a number of local staffs of the British embassy in Tehran after documents and evidence substantiated London's interfering role in stirring post-election riots in Iran.
In one of the court hearing sessions, British embassy's local staff in Tehran Hossein Rassam, who was charged with spying, admitted cultivating networks of contacts in the opposition movement using a £300,000 budget and confessed that the local staff of the embassy had attended protests against June's presidential election results along with two British diplomats, named in court as Tom Burn and Paul Blemey.
