Tens of thousands of members of the Iranian community in the Greater Toronto Area held a protest in Richmond Hill on Oct. 1 against Iran’s government. Similar events were held in other cities in Canada and around the world, including New York, London, Rome, and many others.
The demonstrations were held amid ongoing protests in Iran, sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after being arrested for wearing “unsuitable attire” in Iran.
