Protests in front of the Hamburg mosque & statement by Hourvash Pourkian
On the occasion of the events of last week, we were of course on the road again and organized a demonstration against the Iranian mullah regime.
The protest took place in front of the Hamburg Imam Ali mosque. the porter of the mosque is being observed by the Hamburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution and at that time had organized a funeral for Soleimani.
We wanted to stand up against this and show that the majority of Iranians are against the mullah regime!
And we succeeded - because after the protest, many media reported from us!
Here you can find the corresponding SPIEGEL report here, including a statement by the chairman of the IWP, Ms. Hourvash Pourkian!

Protests against the mullah regime!
The fight against the protests in Iran has reached a new level of escalation: In order to stop the demonstrators, not only is the entire Internet paralyzed, but a real massacre is carried out!
More than 1,000 demonstrators have already been killed by the regime. Including numerous students and young people. This has to be stopped! That is why we started a big demolition in downtown Hamburg last Saturday, November 23rd, 2019.
This is how we show our solidarity with the Iranian people!
Thanks to all who have supported us!
CSD Hamburg 2019!
This year we were again at the CSD Hamburg and enjoyed it very much!
Numerous activists are marching through downtown Hamburg and have drawn attention to the dire situation for homosexual people in Iran.
Because in Iran, homosexuality is a "crime" and people are executed for it. We want to fight against that!
Of course, our march also stood in the sense of general equality for homosexuals around the world.
We received a lot of positive feedback and a lot of enthusiasm.
We were mentioned in the Hamburg-Journal and even the Iranian television "Manoto in London" showed our intragram video!
We are very happy about the great attention and this motivates us to keep going!
AND BECAUSE IT WAS SO NICE, HERE ARE A FEW
IMPRESSIONS:

Protest march: Migrant women demonstrate in Hamburg against the
oppression of women and girls
Our motto: "Equal, self-determined, free" for the rights of
women
We support the petition "DEn kopf frei haben"
"The veiling of girls of all ages - a growing phenomenon in many schools and even kindergartens - represents discrimination and sexualization of minors.
That is why TERRE DES FEMMES e.V. ( registered association)
demands a legal ban on the so-called “children's headscarf” in public spaces, especially in educational institutions, for all underage girls. We want girls to grow up without a headscarf and without full veils - here and elsewhere. "
