On the first day of the annual UN General Assembly’s high-level meetings and speeches, a group of protesters gathered outside the United Nations in New York to voice their opposition to the Iranian government. Led by the Organisation of Iranian American Communities, the protesters displayed images of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, with a snake’s head and holding skeletons and military drones. The rally aimed to draw attention to human rights abuses and oppressive policies under the Iranian regime.
Speaking to the press, the protesters expressed their concerns about the lack of freedom and democracy in Iran, calling for international solidarity to support the Iranian people in their fight for basic rights and freedoms. They warned against the aggressive actions of the Iranian government, including its support for terrorist organizations and repression of dissidents.
The protest comes amid growing tensions between Iran and the international community, particularly over Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence. The protesters urged world leaders gathered at the UN General Assembly to take a firm stance against the Iranian regime and hold it accountable for its actions. They called on the United Nations to intervene and address the ongoing human rights violations in Iran.
As the high-level meetings continue at the UN General Assembly, the protest serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by the Iranian people and the need for global support in advocating for change in Iran. The demonstrators vowed to continue their efforts to raise awareness about the situation in Iran and push for accountability for the Iranian government’s actions.
