SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — People from the San Diego Iranian American community rallied on Tuesday, demanding a stop to what they believe have been mass arrests and executions in Iran.
Protesters held signs and displayed framed photos of imprisoned people as they stood outside the Hall of Justice courthouse. The rally was organized by the Coalition for Democracy and Human Rights in Iran (CDHRI) as a response to “alarming reports of mass arrests, executions, and the harassment of religious minorities,” according to their press release.
“Recent developments in Iran have led to increased discontent among the populace, with rising issues including severe water shortages, inflation, and frequent power outages exacerbating the situation,” CDHRI stated. “As tensions escalate between Iran and Israel, the Iranian regime has responded with a systematic increase in executions and political repression.
