Waves of protests that took to the streets in 2022 and 2023 in Canadian communities, including Halifax, in solidarity of Mahsa Amini came to an abrupt end after Iranian-Canadians say their families living in Iran were threatened.
Over the past week, protests have sparked across Iran after the death of a 22-year-old woman in police custody. As Iran entered its seventh day of protest on Thursday, Nova Scotians gathered at the Halifax Grand Parade for a vigil to honour the life of Mahsa Amini.
