I took two Swedish tourists along with me to the celebration for the 29th anniversary of the revolution. The Swedes had come to Iran to ski for a week and were only in the city for just over 24 hours, for which I suggested this among other things and they were more than happy to join.
I was a little nervous about the blond hair causing us problems but oddly enough I seemed to get clocked more often with, "hey look! Foreigners!".
The nearest three tube stations were closed off and thus we had a long journey to the Azadi tower.
At a guess there must have been just under 2-million people out that day in Tehran alone. Across the country, I might hazard a further guess of over 5-million - maybe more.
I only heard "Death to England" once and was pleased that England was still among the chants. Mostly it was directed towards Israel.
The president did about a 1-hour and 20-minute speech that we heard all the way from the tube to the tower. As we arrived he was rounding up.
I was unable to translate much to my guests as the Farsi was very 'bookish'. It was the usual mix of the Zionist regime causing problems for our Muslim brothers in Palatine. There was the usual stuff about America and some odd things mentioned about the national economic plans.
The Swedes really enjoyed the day and got many photos and films of the moment. It was a nice contrast from the uptown activity that filled the rest of their visit I think.

Protest the Hero is a Canadian progressive metal band from Whitby, Ontario.[3] Originally named Happy Go Lucky,[4] the band changed their name to Protest the Hero shortly before releasing their debut EP, Search for the Truth, in 2002. In 2005, the band released their first full-length album Kezia on the indie label Underground Operations.
On January 23, 2006, the band signed with Vagrant Records for Kezia's American release on April 4, 2006. Their second full-length album, Fortress was released by Underground Operations in Canada and by Vagrant Records worldwide on January 29, 2008.[5] The band released their third studio album, Scurrilous, on March 22, 2011.
Expressing frustrations with record labels, in January of 2013 the band announced that they would crowdfund their fourth full-length album.[6] The Indiegogo campaign was a runaway success, and the independently-released Volition debuted on October 29, 2013, distributed with the help of Razor & Tie.
This group was protesting in Annapolis, MD while the legislature was debating allowing gay marriage. Their group is: The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property. They are based in Hanover, PA.

The lead-up to Saturdays protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government cant ignore, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.Nationwide day of action against TPPA: “Ignore us at your peril” government warned
“The lead-up to Saturday’s protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government can’t ignore”, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.
A video shows young activists publicising Saturday’s nationwide protests with footage from Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Nelson.
Action in the 22 centres starts at 10am in Raglan and many of the larger centre marches begin at 1pm, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
“People have been incredibly creative”, Miller said. “In Christchurch a giant plain-packaged cigarette packet will be marching in the crowd, while Auckland will be led by an enormous Trojan Horse, locked in a tug-of-war between major commercial interests and activist communities.”
“Around the country everyday kiwis will be photographed for a virtual campaign with signs saying ‘I am a ___________ and I say #TPPANoDeal.’ Already this campaign has been very popular.”
“Trade minister Tim Groser needs to recognise that people don’t buy the ‘trust me’ line. They want to be listened to when they say they don’t want the TPPA. And they deserve to be listened to.”

From the recent protest regarding access to abortion on 1 December 2021 in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. (This was the morning the court took up the case to effectively end access to abortion.)
The election for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court was very close, but was won by Allison Riggs by a margin of about 800 votes. After the announcement, challenger Jefferson Griffin and his legal team disputed over 60,000 votes claiming administrative errors. It’s become a flashpoint in the state that is still smoldering. The election was in early November and the issue is still not resolved. Many of the protesters in these pictures were notified of administrative issues with their votes. A hyphen in a voter’s last name was a common “administrative issue” that caused a vote to be cancelled. The recount of votes without the 60,000 votes will certainly put Jefferson Griffon on the bench of the NC Supreme Court.

Policiais atacaram os estudantes que protestavam ontem (06/03/2013) em Cuiabá. Tudo que os estudantes queriam era o direito de ter um teto sob o qual viver enquanto cursam a graduação.

Signs pinned to trees on Pacific University's campus. I think they're in protest of trees getting cut down for new buildings. We've lost a lot of trees the past couple of years to development.

Manifestation pour protester contre les violences de l'armée. La semaine précédente, un lieutenant a braqué son fusil chargé et armé sur un homme du village lors d'une arrestation. La scène a été filmée grâce à une caméra fournie par l'organisation israélienne B'T Selem qui défend les droits de l'homme. Cette marche est soutenue par la présence des activistes israéliens de Taayush, très impliqués en faveur des droits des Palestiniens.
La manif se déroule calmement au départ. Les enfants ont du mal à garder leur calme face aux moqueries des soldats, et finalement la situation finira par dégénérer. Un des soldats saisira l'enfant à la caméra par la gorge, avant de le relâcher. Un autre piétinera un drapeau palestinien. Quand les jeunes commencent à lancer des pierres, le commandant s'écrire, face aux journalistes présents "regardez, voilà leur manifestation pacifique." Quelle ironie ! Accuser les jeunes de violence, alors que l'armée débarque fusil au poing, en tenue de combat, avec des armes de guerre, pour les empêcher de manifester. Où est la vraie violence ?
Il y aura 3 arrestations après cette manif. Les soldats, par rapport à d'autres fois, ont du rester "modérés" car ils étaient filmés en live par un de leurs collègues pour faire bonne figure devant l'opinion publique. Malgré tout, ils ont tiré des balles de caoutchouc, des gaz lacrymogènes et des des grenades de dispersion sur les jeunes qui lançaient des pierres, mais aussi sur ceux à proximité qui ne faisaient rien.
