Iranian Protesters Outside U.N. Headquarters, NYC

As protesters faced baton-wielding police and live ammunition in Tehran on Sunday, in defiance of Saturday’s warning by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei against public demonstrations, approximately 100 protesters gathered outside the United Nations in New York in a show of solidarity.

The protesters held up signs showing bloodied photographs of protesters beaten or killed in Iran and chanted ‘United Nations pay attention.’ The mostly young crowd was vocal but peaceful. Most wore some form of green clothing in a show of support for their defeated candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi. On woman painted a green X over her mouth.
There were similar protests held in Washington, Germany and Belgium
