Around the world, people will gather in solidarity with the Iranian people following over a month of intensified state repression against citizens peacefully demonstrating for their rights. Many have been killed in the streets, many hundreds have been beaten and injured, and at least 2,000 are reported to have been detained.
Amnesty International has repeatedly issued actions on behalf of individuals at risk and reported on the violent repression of demonstrations and the killing of demonstrators in the aftermath of the presidential elections.
We have condemned use of tear gas by Iranian Security Forces against demonstrators marking the 18 Tir anniversary.
Join the Global Day of Action Demonstration
There will be demonstrations in front of Iranian embassies in at least 50 cities around the world.
The Global day of Action is a coalition event with partners such as International campaign for Human Rights in Iran, International Federation of Human Rights, Human Rights Watch, Reporters without Borders and many others calling for a Global Day Of Action
The global day of action is needed to maintain international pressure on the Iranian Authorities to stop responding with further violence to peaceful demonstrations. The Global Action will also demand the immediate release of hundreds of detainees who are at serious risk of further human rights violations.
Date and Time: July 25 at Noon
