The view of Iran from Windsor

This past weekend, the Iranian diaspora and others — amounting to hundreds of thousands of people around the world — protested the Iranian government. The demonstrations occurred in Germany and Los Angeles and Toronto and across the river, in Windsor.

One of the people participating the ongoing protests is Mahshid Soleimani. She’s a PhD student at the University of Windsor and leads an Iranian student group on campus. She spoke about her perspective as part of the Iranian diaspora with The Metro's Robyn Vincent.
