BOSTON, MA- Several
hours ago, Iranian women held a rally in Laleh Park, Tehran, to express their
opposition to the fundamentalist regime in Iran.
Women chanted “Down with
the regime”, “Women’s mission: Justice, Peace, and Equality”.
Facing a great danger and
threats from the Iran’s anti-riot police, women gathered and sang Iranian
National Anthem “O’Iran, Land of Glory and Gem”.
