Around 200 people take part in a demonstration on Berlin's western shopping mile, the Kurfürstendamm.
The participants are chanting and carrying signs demanding an end to the Mullah regime in Tehran. They criticize the persecution of political dissidents and the brutal suppression of recent protests in several Iranian cities. They also call on the regime to lift the blockade of the Internet in the Islamic Republic.
Rainbow flags can also be seen at the demonstration.
The background is the protests of the last days and weeks in Iran, which were sparked by a tripling of the price of gasoline. The reasons, however, lie deeper in massive economic problems, an impoverishment of the population and an alienation of many Iranians from their leadership.
The regime in Tehran is reacting to the protests with severity. According to reports, a three-figure number of people have been killed and thousands have been arrested.
