Thousands of Iranian-Americans held a protest outside of the United Nations demanding justice for victims of Iran’s regime.
They have covered the plaza with the faces of those they say have fallen for freedom.
Political figures, human rights advocates, and Iranian survivors are denouncing the nearly 200 executions carried out since Masoud Pezeshkian took office.
An Iranian American nurse shared what she says was her firsthand experience treating pro-democracy protestors during the 2022 Iran uprising.
“When the wounded youth would come to the hospital, the regime was asking they be returned to the government,” a translator said for the nurse. “They created secure treatment homes in Iran to treat the wounded youth. Since he became president we have had more than 180 executions and hangings.”
Protestors say this is a weeklong demonstration.
