Tens of thousands gathered in the German capital, Berlin, on Saturday, to express their solidarity with the anti -government demonstrators in Iran, where the demonstrations, which were ignited by the death of the young woman, migrated in my faith in the seizure of the morals police into a challenge to the Tehran regime.
80,000 people reportedly took part in the demonstration that was planned for late afternoon, according to estimates from the Berlin police.
Many of the demonstrators carried signs that read “Women, Life, Freedom” in both English and German, while they raised Iranian flags and banners that condemned Iran’s government.
The “Women, Life, Freedom” organisation organised a protest that started in front of the victory column in Berlin’s Tergarten Park and moved into the heart of the German capital.
Some protesters claimed to have travelled from other parts of Germany and other European nations to support the Iranian protesters.
“Being present and serving as a spokesperson for the murdered Iranians on the streets is crucial. This is a revolution in Iran; it is no longer a protest. The world’s peoples must understand this “said Iranian Shakib Lulu, a resident of the Netherlands.
On Saturday, further anti-government demonstrations broke out at Tehran’s universities.
The national movement in Iran initially focused on the compulsory veil after the death of Muhsa Amini (22 years) on September 16 while it was detained by the “Ethics Police”, but it rapidly developed to demand the cessation of repression and other political and life demands.
According to human rights organisations, the security forces used live bullets and tear gas to suppress the protests, which resulted in the deaths of over 200 individuals.
