US Edition200,000 people protest against Iran regime as world leaders gather nearby
About 250,000 people rallied near a global security conference calling for regime change and humanitarian intervention following deadly protests in Iran, organizers and police said.
- On Saturday, some 200,000 people demonstrated in Munich on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, rallying at Theresienwiese fairgrounds less than three kilometres from the venue.
- Addressing the Munich conference, Pahlavi warned democracies risked more deaths if they stand by after last month's deadly crackdown sparked nationwide demonstrations amid an internet blackout.
- Demonstrators waved pre-1979 lion-and-sun flags, banged drums and chanted for regime change and Pahlavi's return, voicing that `The people that you are negotiating with are not representative of the Iranian people`, Farzad said.
- Pahlavi thanked US President Donald Trump for ordering a second aircraft carrier group on Friday and urged help, while organisers planned parallel rallies in Toronto and Los Angeles on Saturday.
- Estimates vary, with activist groups citing near 30,000 deaths while more conservative tallies place it at 7,000 to 10,000; Iran's government calls the figures politicised but acknowledges several thousand killed.
