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.

The 22-year-old Kurd had been arrested by morality police for not wearing a hijab in accordance with government rules on September 13. While in police custody, she suffered a serious brain injury and died in hospital three days later.
Police claimed she had had a heart attack, but her family and women who were detained alongside her said she had been beaten by officers. Her post-mortem revealed evidence of violence, including skull fractures and bruising around her eyes.
Her death sparked national outrage in Iran, resulting in demonstrations in many cities.
Women chanted Kurdish feminist slogans and burned their hijabs in protest at the Islamic Republic of Iran's strict dress code.
According to Iran Human Rights, a non-profit human rights organisation based in Iran, at least 54 people have been killed by security forces during the protests so far, and hundreds more have been injured or arrested.
In Liverpool, a banner upheld by the Kurdistan Free Life Party, a leftist organisation which opposes the Islamic government, read: "Free women, free life, free Iran, free world. We salute the nationwide uprising of millions of people across Iran."
