Protest outside Japanese Embassy in Berlin and Commemoration of the martyrs of the Iran protests

Iranian in Berlin demonstrated today in front of the Japanese embassy in Germany to protest against a programmed visit to Japan, by the mullahs’ president Hassan Rouhani scheduled for tomorrow Friday 20 December.  

In a letter addressed to the ambassador, demonstrators urged the Japanese government to cancel the visit by Rouhani, who is supposed to meet the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. They said Rouhani was responsible for “crimes against humanity”, so his visit to the country should not take place especially a few weeks after the brutal suppression of Iran protests by government forces in Iran.  

The letter to the Japanese ambassador reads as follows:  

“We – representative of the Iranian community in Germany – are protesting here in front of the Japanese embassy telling your government:  Rouhani is responsible for crimes against humanity. And asking: Cancel his visit to Japan / Hold him accountable. 

will only embolden the religious fascism in Iran to intensify its criminal crackdown at home, and export terrorism and warmongering to the region and the world.
