According to police, about 80 thousand attended the gathering. Event organisers initially expected 50,000 participants.
Police reported on a pre-problem “march essentially without problems”. Participants carried Iranian flags and billboards criticising Iranian leaders, many with the title “Grath, Life, Freedom” in English and German.
As nationwide protests in Iran led by women entered the sixth week, traders and factory workers in several Iranian cities also went on strike, activists said.
Massive protests against Iran's authoritarian government were triggered by the death of the 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Ammini, who was in custody by police in mid-September. Moral police had arrested him for disrespecting the headscarf mandate, DW reports.
