Simourq asbl, a cultural non-profit organisation for the integration of Persian speakers in Luxembourg, has announced that it is organising a demonstration in support of human rights in Iran in Luxembourg City on Saturday 29 October 2022, from 15:00.

This demonstration coincides with a series of human chain protests by and in support of Iranians around the world - protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old Iranian woman Mahsa Amini in police custody last month.

A group of Iranian organisations from the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate will be joining Simourq asbl for this demonstration.

According to the organisers, the demonstration aims to support a free and democratic Iran, by calling for solidarity with the Iranian people who are rising up for the respect of human rights.

Participants will first form a human chain in Glacis car park in Luxembourg-Limpertsberg at 15:00 before moving towards Place de l'Europe in Luxembourg-Kirchberg to make their demands heard.

Anyone wishing to support the defence of human rights, as well as organisations working in this field, is invited to participate in this demonstration.
