Huwezi amini kwa mujibu wa BBC Iran imemtupa nyuma ya nondo balozi wa Uingereza nchini humo kwa kuchoche maandamano nje ya chuo kikuu, wakati kwa sheria za kimataifa balozi huyo ana kinga ya kidplomasia.

Iran plane crash: Britain condemns Tehran's arrest of UK ambassador
Britain has condemned the arrest of the UK ambassador to Iran as a "flagrant violation of international law".
Rob Macaire was detained after attending a vigil for those who died when Iran's military shot down a passenger plane on Wednesday.
He left when it turned into a protest before being arrested and accused of helping to organise the demonstrations.
Iran's deputy foreign minister said he was arrested "as an unknown foreigner in an illegal gathering".
Mr Macaire was summoned to the Iranian foreign ministry on Sunday after his arrest on Saturday night.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi, deputy foreign minister of Iran, who denied Mr Macaire was detained, said in a tweet that he thought it "impossible" when police first told him that the UK ambassador had been arrested.
A phone conversation confirmed Mr Macaire's identity and he was released 15 minutes later, Mr Araghchi added.
In a tweet, Mr Macaire denied taking part in protests and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab condemned his arrest.
Mr Macaire said he was attending the vigil because it was "normal to want to pay respects", adding that some of the victims were British.
The ambassador added: "Arresting diplomats is of course illegal, in all countries."
Protesters had taken to the streets in Iran's capital, Tehran, to vent anger at officials, calling them liars for having denied shooting down a Ukrainian passenger plane.
On Saturday, Iran admitted "unintentionally" downing the jet, three days after the crash that killed 176 people.
