Iranian-Americans marched in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday to protest the Iranian government's crackdown on recent protests. The demonstration, which organizers estimated drew several thousand people, took place in front of City Hall.
Steve Futterman, reporting from the scene for NPR, described the gathering as "very energized." The march was a response to the increasing flow of information regarding the Iranian government's actions against protestors in Iran.
Los Angeles is home to the largest Iranian population in the United States, making it a focal point for demonstrations and activism related to Iranian affairs. The protests in Iran, which sparked the Los Angeles march, have been ongoing for several weeks, driven by a range of grievances against the government.
The march in Los Angeles reflects a global reaction to the events unfolding in Iran, with communities around the world expressing solidarity with the Iranian protestors and condemning the government's response. The situation remains fluid, and further demonstrations and actions are anticipated as the international community continues to monitor developments in Iran.
