Global Day of Solidarity with Iran on November 4th (13 Aban)

Demonstrations will take place across the world on November 4th 2009 in support of those calling for democratic reform in Iran.

In London, there will be a demonstration outside the Iranian Embassy, 16 Prince’s Gate London, SW7 1PT, from 6pm until 9pm.

The nearest tube is South Kensington on the District, Piccadilly and Circle Lines.

November 4th is when students gather outside the former U.S. embassy.

Usually, according to Robin Wright of Time Magazine, they protest about American actions.

This year, they are protesting against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei.

The day is called 13 Aban on the Iranian calendar.

Other cities where I am aware of demonstrations are Paris (5pm until 7pm at the Place Saint-Michel,75006 Paris.The nearest Metro is Saint-Michel,Métro ligne 4 & RER B) and Frankfurt (at the Römerberg from 6pm).

If you know where other 13 Aban demonstrations are taking place, post below.

The year-long imprisonment of blogger Hossein Derakhshan, known as Hoder online, is but one reason to show solidarity.
