Regina protesters form a ‘human chain’ in solidarity with Iranians
“What do we want? Regime change!”
Those were the words shouted by protesters on Albert Street Bridge on Saturday as many Iranians living in Regina are voicing their frustrations. The protests in Iran were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after wearing an improper hijab.Protests first focused on the state-mandated hijab, or head scarf for women, but quickly grew into calls for the downfall of the country’s theocracy. At least 270 people have been killed and 14,000 have been arrested in the protests that have swept over 125 Iranian cities, according to the group Human Rights Activists in Iran.
Amongst the crowd in Regina, there was a common call for international governments, including Canada’s, to end any relationship they have with the Iranian Regime.
