'If we were British we wouldn’t be ignored' curiously
A group of Iranian activists who have spent the winter camped outside the Manchester Islamic Centre are going into their 30th day of protests.
According to the group who have been using Tik Tok to spread their message as 'Women for the Liberty of Iran', hundreds of people from across the UK have joined them in the 30 days and they plan to continue the sit-ins as well as hunger strikes until the centre is closed or they receive a ‘meaningful answer’ from the mosque about their stance on the regime.
The days and nights in the unforgiving winter weather have not been easy for the protestors. According to another activist, Donya, a majority of them have taken ill with chest infections and they are now sleeping in the back of a van after their Manchester City Council asked them to remove their tent.
The group say their Tik Tok posts have been receiving ‘lots of love’ particularly from Iran. Donya said: “In Iran they can hardly connect to the internet, that’s why they feel like we’re standing with them. This is very valuable for the people of Iran that people joined to protest in any kind.” In September the Islamic centre was attacked for it’s alleged links to the regime which Women for Liberty of Iran say they had no involvement with. At the time, Imam of the centre Seyed Avaei told the MEN that he believes the vandal’s were trying to send a message to the Iranian government but said their anger was misplaced.
