Thousands turned out on Saturday in Sydney to rally against the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the recent killings of protesters there. Last Thursday, activist, Mohsen Shekari was reportedly executed by hanging for participating in the mass demonstrations sweeping throughout the country.
The latest wave of civil unrest was initially sparked by the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini in September at the hands of the so-called ‘Morality Police’ for not wearing her hijab correctly. The Australian Government last week announced sanctions against those in the Iranian regime, particularly targeting the Morality Police.
The march in Sydney started at Belmore park and proceeded through the city to Hyde Park. It coincided with International Human Rights Day.
