A rally of Iranian dissidents and their Jews allies is set to take place as a counter-protest to a planned pro-regime march in London.
Al Quds Day was established following the Islamic Revolution in 1979 as an event for Iranians to display support for the Palestinian cause.
Each year, hundreds of supporters gather in the capital to voice their allegiance to the ayatollah.
Organised by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), this year’s event is scheduled for March 15.
The counter-protest has been organised by Iranian anti-regime group Lion Guard of Iran and Jewish-led campaign group Stop The Hate.
A spokesperson for Stop The Hate said: "Thousands of supporters of Iran's hardline theocratic regime are being allowed to march through Central London on Sunday 15.
"The Al Quds day march, organised by a UK charity IHRC, has seen open support for terrorism, calls for the annihilation of the state of Israel, death to America and death to Britain and the West. Why are we allowing these thugs to have a hate parade in our capital city?
"In January, almost 40,000 protesters were slaughtered by Iran's murderous Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp [IRGC] who gunned innocent people down in the street for standing up to the Ayatollahs.
“We must stand beside our brave Iranian brothers and sisters who want to live a free life, free from the hate clerics and a theocracy that spreads its poison across the world.”
In a post promoting this year march, IHRC said it “mourns the loss of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei”, adding that the “leader chose to stand on the right side of history and history will remember him”.
Politicians have already called for the Al Quds march this year to be cancelled.
Lord Walney, the government’s former independent adviser on political violence and disruption, said that allowing the “notorious anti-Israel jamboree” to go ahead would pose a “considerably increased risk of serious public disorder or serious disruption to communities”.
He told the JC: “It will strike most people as absurd that the threshold is set so high to stop what has been shown to be a carnival of Jew-hate actively fuelled by an evil Islamist regime that is swearing death to the West and striking out at our allies across the world.”
A Board of Deputies spokesperson raised concern over Al Quds march, saying: “[The event] is in poor taste every year, but at a time when Iran is launching attacks on British bases and allies it seems extraordinary that this should be allowed to go ahead.
“Those organising it should certainly be attracting the close attention of the authorities.”
The Metropolitan Police said: “We recognise that there will be more attention to this protest given the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. It is likely that numbers will be increased.”
