San Diegans protested in Old Town on Saturday as the Iranian government has turned to public executions.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — In the span of a week, the Iranian government has executed two protesters. The second, a 23-year-old, was hanged publicly from a construction crane in the city of Mashhad – escalating global outrage.
Here in San Diego, the local Iranian community gathered in Old Town on Saturday to protest and to continue raising awareness. “We’re really to give a voice and amplify what’s going on in Iran because unfortunately the internet… they’re having trouble. It’s been shut down over there. So they can’t get their voice out to the Western countries and the rest of the world and so we need to be there to do that for them,” said another activist.
