Here are a few scenes I shot at this afternoon’s big Iranian demonstration outside the White House. As you’ll see, it was large, energetic crowd – at least several hundred strong – with protestors chanting slogans like “Democracy for Iran,” “Human Rights for Iran,” and “Down With the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Many people held up posters bearing the image of Neda, the Iranian woman who was killed while protesting in the streets of Tehran this weekend. Others held up signs that read “Mr. President, Have You Heard The Cry for Democracy in Iran?” and “Please! President Obama, Help Innocent Iranians!”
Of course, a lot of unsuspecting tourists who happened upon the scene feverishly snapped photos and video. Interestingly, however, I didn’t see any broadcast TV news camera there – even local stations who could have used the footage to provide a local angle on the international story.
