Georgian Iranians demand Rouhani's resignation
Natives of Iran living in Georgia have held an action in Tbilisi demanding the resignation of President Hassan Rouhani and carrying out reforms in Iran.
According to Tbilisi protesters, they are coming to the Iranian Embassy in Georgia for two days in a row with posters demanding Rouhani's resignation, change of power and reforming Iran. Thus, they have joined the wave of protest that covered major cities of Iran: Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan and Rasht, the "Echo of the Caucasus" reports.
"The Iranian govt is dictatorial. They don't think about the people; they do everything just for themselves; but we want to live freely, in a normal country," Muhammad Rusa, a participant of the protest in Tbilisi, said on air of the "Rustavi-2" TV Channel.
Ali Rusta, another protester, said on air of the TV Channel that many Iranians had to leave their homeland because they had adopted Christianity.
"I'm a Christian. Here, in Georgia, I can go to church, and live like an ordinary person. There, [in Iran] I can't live like this; I was put in prison for this all the time; they summoned me to the police, and asked why I had become a Christian," a participant of the action in Tbilisi said.
