On Sunday, Toronto police lined Dundas as parents and children marched, waving Iranian flags and posters of political prisoners like Hojat Shariefi, who has been taken captive by his government. Here are scenes from the demonstration:

A middle-aged woman standing in the back of a pick-up truck leads them. She shouts into her megaphone, ‘Khamenei must be stopped,' and the crowd repeats.

"We are here to raise awareness and support the Iranian people uprising against suppression in their country: they want democracy. The government has killed many people over there in the last 6 months," says protestor Shakour Ghafouri, 58. "They're a religious dictatorship forcibly implementing their own religious decrees on the public. [Iranians] want a secular regime."
