Thousands gather peacefully in Los Angeles in support of protesters in Iran

A few thousand demonstrators gathered in Los Angeles in support of protesters in Iran. Marchers, some waving the flag of Iran before the Islamic Revolution, rallied downtown near LA City Hall on Sunday. The police department estimates the “Solidarity with the People of Iran” event drew about 4,000 demonstrators. Police say the rally was peaceful and there were no arrests. Activists say a crackdown on nationwide protests against the theocracy in Iran has killed thousands of people. Protesters have flooded the streets in Iran’s capital of Tehran and its second-largest city. Los Angeles is home to the largest Iranian community outside of Iran.
