Several hundred people in Dresden drew attention to the situation in Iran with a solidarity demonstration under the motto "All Eyes on Iran". The Center for Intercultural Understanding Dresden (ZIVD) had called for the demonstration. As the police reported on request, the rally went off without a hitch.
Demands to Berlin and criticism of Tehran
The demonstration began in the early afternoon at the "Goldener Reiter" and led as a procession into the city center to the Frauenkirche. Dresden SPD member of parliament Rasha Nasr wrote on Instagram that more than 350 people took part in the protest. The Dresden police department does not usually comment on the number of participants in demonstrations.
According to the organizer, Nasr and the Green Party member of parliament Kassem Taher Saleh spoke at the rally. The Iranian regime was criticized in speeches for its ongoing repression and executions. In addition, demands were made of the German government - including more protection for Iranians in exile and more consistent action against suspected influence and espionage structures.
