Thousands Of Protesters In Paris For Iran
A protester holds a placard reading ''no to execution'' during a rally in support of the Iranian people in Paris, France, on January 17, 2026. Protests in Iran subside after a crackdown that kills thousands under an internet blackout, monitors say on January 16, a week after the start of the largest demonstrations in years challenging the country's theocratic system. Protests sparked by economic grievances start with a shutdown in the Tehran bazaar on December 28, 2025, but turn into a mass movement demanding the removal of the clerical system that has ruled Iran since the 1979 revolution.
