Protesters stormed the Iranian embassy outside Stockholm, Sweden today, tearing down a fence and climbing through shattered windows to gain access to the building. Over 150 people had gathered to protest against the Iranian regime. Police were brought in to remove the protesters and at least one person was arrested.

The majority of the protesters, most of whom were Iranian, demanded that the embassy be closed. Firouzeh Ghaffrpour, a protest organizer was quoted as saying, "The Islamic system is not wanted by the people of Iran."

Keep fighting! They are

Keep fighting! They are cracking down hard in Iran and we must continue to show support for the protesters. They want the same freedoms that we enjoy and they are right to fight this oppressive regime.
