Students at the University of Victoria held a rally in support of Iranian protesters on Wednesday afternoon.
The students were calling for regime change and for basic human rights following months of brutal crackdowns on anti-government protests in the country.
"Seeing all these bright, young individuals being murdered because they dare to stand up for what they believe in really makes me feel survivor's guilt that I get to be here in a country with all the freedom they aren’t afforded," said the student. There have even been clashes in Qatar, where World Cup attendees are showing their support for women in Iran, and facing pushback.
