In Berlin, around 80,000 people expressed their solidarity with the protesters in Iran last Saturday. Several demos are planned for this Saturday in Cologne.
Cologne (dpa / lnw) – Three demonstrations in support of the system-critical protests in Iran will take place in Cologne on Saturday afternoon. The organizers have registered a total of 6000 participants, said a police spokesman. A peaceful process is assumed.
Last Saturday, tens of thousands of people marched through the government district in Berlin in solidarity with the protests in Iran. According to police estimates, around 80,000 people were on site.
The trigger for the system-critical mass protests in Iran last month was the death of the 22-year-old Iranian Kurd Mahsa Amini. The vice squad arrested her for allegedly violating Islamic dress codes. Since her death, thousands have been demonstrating across the country against the government’s repressive course and the Islamic system of rule.
