July 25, Global Day of Action for Human Rights in Iran

Yesterday, I attended (along with around at least 2000 other people) a protest march in Toronto, organized as part of the Global Day of Action for Human Rights in Iran.

There were numerous rallies held all over the over in support of the freedom movement in Iran (around 110 events planned according to organizers). I would like to share some of these images with you. The news was also covered by various organizations (curiously, the BBC mentioned nothing!).

Pictures of the protest in Dubai (and remember, the Dubai Police does not allow any protests, and in fact asked people to leave after about 30 minutes).

And let's not forget Vienna:



And of course Tokyo, where around 100 Iranians held a beautiful candle light vigil:




It was a remarkable day of global solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Iran, and a great experience for future protests.

Ahmadinejad, we are waiting for you in New York, we know how much you love to come to the UN and make a fool of yourself!
