After days of protests, Iranians in France continue to demonstrate in the streets of Paris against repression in Iran.
They are now calling for action from the West, which they believe should condemn the regime more heavily.
Two weeks after the death of Mahsa Amini, the protest movement continues more and more violently in Iran.
The repression has already killed at least 83 people and 1,200 protesters have been arrested.
IN France, and more particularly in Paris, new demonstrations have also taken place in support of Iranian women.
A rally was held in the capital on Saturday afternoon.
On the spot, hundreds of Iranian flags and signs to say no to this regime which they describe as misogynistic.

"We need a revolution to be able to start again on the principles of freedom and democracy, that's what the people are asking for."
Opponents of the regime denounce a religious dictatorship and claim the right to dress freely, to express themselves, to move, to study, to work.
Moujdane fights within the National Council of Resistance of Iran and expects a lot from Westerners.
"What is beyond me is that because of money, oil, gas, Westerners [...] never take action and abandon this regime. We must close the embassies of the Iran. Cut ties with these ayatollahs."
Everyone has bitter memories of the handshake between Emmanuel Macron and Iranian President Ebrahim Raïssi, exchanged a few days ago on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
