Iranians overseas condemn Islamic Republic

Outside the country, many Iranians used the 44th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution to protest against the government and its supression of women’s rights.

Thousands of people marched in Paris, while smaller demonstrations were also held in other cities like Düsseldorf.

“The protests are meant to show that Iranians are standing up to the regime,” Hamburg politician Danial Ilkhanipour said at the rally in Paris.

Swedish MP Alireza Akhondi, who was also at the protest in Paris, told AFP “the main goal is to make EU ministers finally hear the voices of the Iranians.”

“We want to the Revolutionary Guards to be labelled as a terror group,” he said. “It is the key point.”
