“Stand With Iran” march and vigil tonight for protesters killed in Iran

“Stand With Iran” march and vigil tonight for protesters killed in Iran

About 80 people gathered at the fountain at Cal Anderson for a vigil for protesters killed in Iran – over 30,000 since December – and marched to the Space Needle.

The vigil and march was nominally apolitical, with no political signs and almost complete silence for the march. A woman in the march said that most people in Iran support the shah’s son and the resistance against the mullahs; most objective news sources say that the population is more divided than that, but surely all good people should be appalled by the killing of the protesters.
