On Saturday, thousands gathered in Berlin to protest against the authoritarian regime in Tehran and to express solidarity with the Iranian people. According to police reports, the peak attendance was about 10,000 people at the Brandenburg Gate, though the organizers had initially expected up to 100,000 participants. The demonstration, titled 'Freedom for Iran', was promoted by a broad coalition of international organizations through social media and major advertisements in various newspapers.

The gathering was described by police as having an 'absolutely peaceful' nature, with around 380 officers deployed to ensure safety. Participants initially marched to Potsdamer Platz and later returned to the Brandenburg Gate, emphasizing their message of freedom and support for those facing repression in Iran. The peaceful conduct of the protest highlighted the widespread discontent with the Iranian regime and the international call for solidarity with its citizens.

This demonstration in Berlin reflects a growing trend of global solidarity movements addressing issues of authority and human rights. As awareness around the challenges faced by Iranians increases, such international events are significant in pressuring governments and bringing justice to the situation in Iran. The turnout and the peaceful nature of the protest could spark further actions and discussions regarding the response to the human rights situation in Iran and the broader implications for international relations.
