“Around 200 people attended the joint demonstration on Charlotte Street. Some passing cars honked in support,” the article said.
Note that the protest was organized by Kaveh Shakouri, who left Iran for Canada in 2008. According to him, the Ukrainian and Iranian communities have united to protest Iran’s supply of drones to Russia. “We have common oppressors,” Shakouri said.
Protesters honored the memory of Ukrainians who fell victim to Russian invaders and Iranians who died during mass protests in the country.
Recall that Canada extended sanctions against Iran last month and against Russia earlier this month. In general, Canadian sanctions apply to several thousand Iranians and Russians involved in mass crimes and human rights violations.
