DUBLIN, Ireland: Protesters gathered on Dublin's O'Connell Street over the weekend, demanding the expulsion of Iranian diplomats.
Roshin Farahani, who organized the Iran Solidarity Protest, said it was unfair that some people could use the internet and live comfortably in places like Dublin, Europe, the US, or Canada while people in Iran were dying.
Protests against the government started across Iran on December 28 after the country's currency lost much of its value. The government responded harshly, and thousands of people were killed.
Very little information is coming out because the internet has been shut down for more than two weeks.
Farahani, who is from Tehran and has lived in Ireland for 15 years, said this is a very serious and critical time for the people of Iran. She said people cannot stay silent when so many are being killed by the government.
A small group of protesters stood near the Spire holding signs and Iranian flags. They shouted slogans in Farsi and English, played music, and gave speeches.
Another protester, Milad Mohebbi, said he joined because Iran is his homeland, but he does not believe the current Islamic government should rule the country. He said many of his friends back home joined the protests, and although he has contacted some of them, he does not know if the others are safe.
