Iran protest marches 'show we feel their pain and we are here'

A Liverpool woman has spoken out over the oppression of women in Iran as protesters take to the city's streets to oppose a crackdown by Iranian security forces.

The death of Mahsa Amini and claims of widespread attacks on women’s rights in Iran has sparked worldwide outrage. 36-year-old Goli, an Iranian woman living in Liverpool, is among those raising the alarm over the issue in Liverpool.

Goli, who has lived in Liverpool for around 10 years, said she "loves the city", and because of this has taken on the responsibility of raising awareness of the Iranian regime locally, as well as showing solidarity towards the people of Iran - an issue close to her due to the fact that her sister is currently living in the country.
