More than 100 people gathered and formed a human chain in downtown Victoria in protest against the Islamic regime in Iran, six weeks after the death of a 22-year old woman.
“Every rally that we have is for being people’s voice, for showing that we are not just a few people,” said Vianna, a protestor.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned protestors that Saturday would be their last day of demonstrating.

He adds that Amini’s death has become a catalyst.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.“They cannot stop Iranian people, especially Iranian women.
