Liverpool protesters unite to call for change in Iran

Dozens of people united in Liverpool under a rallying call for change in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini and the violent suppression of protesters in the country.

A demonstration took place outside the St Johns Centre on Sunday, the same day hundreds of people protested in Hyde Park and outside the Iranian Embassy in London.

Protesters waved Iranian flags bearing the emblem of the lion and the sun, which was the country's national flag until 1980 and is still commonly used by groups opposing the Islamic Republic government, and held up pictures of Mahsa, who died in the Iranian capital Tehran on September 16.
