A demonstration in support of Iran is scheduled in the capital city this afternoon.
The local Iranian community will be forming a global human chain in support of the fight for freedom.
Mohammad Afkani, an organizer of the event says the human chain demonstration is taking place around the world.
They say the movement was formed after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was killed by Iranian police for failing to cover her hair in hijab.
Afkani says they’re coming together to show the people of Iran that even though they are not physically with them, Iranians are in their thoughts as they continue to fight for their freedom.
The event is taking place at Harbourside Park at 2:00 p.m.
