I would prefer to attend and support there with all the people - than a selective protest on June 26. I haven't been able to find any info so far. Great.

Yes, as far as I know, there are still nightly protests outside the Iranian Embassy from 6pm to 8pm. I have been last week, but cannot go tonight. Good atmosphere. But almost entirely Iranians. Very little solidarity from non-Iranians. No lefts. A pity. Nora and everyone.
