Several hundred people rallied outside Sydney’s Town Hall in support of protesters in Iran, where demonstrations that began over economic grievances have expanded into wider calls for political change. Protesters abroad expressed solidarity as Iranian authorities continue a sweeping crackdown.
Rights groups report thousands killed and tens of thousands arrested since the unrest began in late December, while Iranian officials have acknowledged significant casualties. The latest protests come as Iran faces internal and regional pressures following last year’s war and setbacks to key allies in the Middle East.
