Moreover, a photo exhibition was held in front of the US Capitol. Thousands of images cover nearly 40 years of sacrifice by the people of Iran for the cause of a Democratic Iranian Republic.
Painful to see the images of the fallen for #FreeIran. Yet their sacrifice and bravery is a badge of honor for each Iranian, ensures the endurance of #IranProtests, and foretells of ominous end for the clerical tyrants in Tehran. #IranRevoIution #MahsaAmini @HouseForeignGOP… pic.twitter.com/SbaabAZot2
