Join facebook group “Protest Against Election Fraud in Iran”
Everything happened so quickly. Yesterday at noon I received an invitation to attend a gathering in San Francisco to show solidarity with Iranian people on Tehran streets, who are protesting fraud in Iranian elections. Apparently gatherings like this are happening all over the world, where Iranians are showing their dismay for the way protesters are being treated on the streets of small and big cities. This one was organized by International Alliance of Iranian students. It was an event well attended by members of the Iranian diaspora who were representative of a wide spectrum of political beliefs. It was touching to see the crowd of about 500 people sing old patriotic songs and stick together through the somber air of concern and fear for the future of Iran. There will be another gathering tonight at 6:00 p.m. at UC Berkeley’s Sproul Plaza. Many local television stations covered the event. Read more from KGO (ABC) here. and watch the news coverage by KPIX (CBS) here. Here’s Gooya’s page on gatherings of Iranians outside Iran to protest the election results in Iran.
