San Diegans honor Mahsa Amini one year after her death

Mahsa Amini died in Iranian police custody a year ago today after police arrested her for not properly wearing a hijab. Her death sparked an uprising in Iran and protests worldwide and here in San Diego. Friday afternoon a group gathered to celebrate Mahsa Amini's life and continue the global call to action for the Iranian people: Woman, Life, Freedom.

Attendee Parnian Sartip said she must participate in Friday’s protest because her life and the lives of so many other Iranians depend on it.

Right on San Diego, my hometown, you make me proud. Support freedom and justice for those fighting against oppression wherever it rears its ugly head!

Nuh eesha stuhi pesha uh with the women in a good way. ❤❤❤❤ proud of you a beautiful inspiration. Blessings

I'm sure Iranians in Iran really are told, or would care about protests in San Diego. Get real.

[rogerclark]

What about women dying in San Diego? Like, right down the road from where you're at...

[kristoferscott]

Yeah that will show Iran when you protest in another country half way across the world instead of doing it in that country.

[traviscornell]

Useless virtue signalling. It's not a "noble protest" - it's narcissism.

Freedom for Iranians. Freedom for the Palestinians! Stop funding Israel's apartheid! Freedom for the whole world. Freedom for Americans. 🇲🇽☝🏼

Pretty funny their displaying the former Monarchy’s flag. Clearly care so much for muh freedom and muh democracy

Who? Oh right a different country that many young kids are too scared to fight for

Living in Muslim society must follow the
Command of God other wise the deciplne
Of society will vanish

These people can see how much impact their protest in CA has by watching Iranian state-controlled

How about do something useful? Go to your politicians and demand action. Open up your community to allow more Shia Muslim refugees.

[delady]

Oh please!!! Take your protest to Iran where it belongs if you people are so concerned.

[donyairani]

Thanks, I hope see freedom .neve, ever, give up here.God bless America

[niccotine]

How many where paid by three letter agencies I do wonder

[cheflui]

Roots go back to their beliefs, “religion”. Do as your told.

[ulilybk]

I see EXACTLY what you did there. Love their content 😂

[marymalone-zu]

Why are they protesting in San
Diego? Shouldn't they go to the source of their outrage and protest in Iran? Actions do more than words and carrying cardboard signs/beating drums with 20 other people in a park 10, 000 miles away does absolutely nothing but fill 3 minutes of a 4 hour local news show.
