Thousands are expected to march in solidarity with protestors in Iran in cities across the world, including in London, Berlin and Washington.

Human rights groups are reporting more than twelve thousand people have been arrested and nearly 250 killed since street protests began in Iran last month, after the death of Mahsa Amini.

The 22-year-old was arrested by morality police in Tehran for allegedly violating Iran's strict rules requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab or headscarf.
