Demonstrations took place across the United States and Canada on Saturday to condemn the more than three months of chemical attacks on girls’ schools around Iran.
The United States is home to the world's largest Iranian community outside the country with almost 400,000 living there.
The Iranian diaspora led rallies in cities including New York and Washington, where hundreds of participants marched in front of the White House to demand the support of the US government and the international community for the protests inside Iran.
Similar events were also held in San Diego and Philadelphia. In Canada, Iranians joined forces in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver to show solidarity with the hundreds of girls affected by mysterious chemical attacks in scores of schools across the country since November.
In Toronto, protesters held a rally in front of the Parliament of Ontario province, chanting slogans to censure the attacks on schoolgirls in different cities of Iran including Tehran, Qom, Karaj, Boroujerd, etc.
The government has aired ‘confessions’ of those allegedly responsible for the attacks which started three months ago as a man and his daughter forced to speak to national TV. The broadcast has all the trademarks of the regime’s forced confessions.
