Answer 1

Following 2009 presidential election of Iran on 13 July, there was large protests against the victory of Ahmadinezhad in election, who was the former president for four past years. Protests occurred supporting the reformist candidates Mousavi and Karoubi, and continued for several days. The largest one happened on 15 July when more than 3 millions of people came to the streets of Tehran, the capital city and hundred thousands of protestors in other cities of Iran. Protestors carried green flags, wearing green clothes and green wristbands, as the green color is the symbol of freedom and democracy for Iran, shouting "Where is my vote" and other slogans against the totalitarian government.

From the third day of protests, Basij groups (supporters of the government) and militants started to hit people with electric batons and also opened fire to the people marching on the streets. The day after opening fire, again hundred thousands of protestors marched silently in the central streets of big cities, holding pictures of the recent martyrs and lighted candles, to mourn for the killed ones. During the 20 and 12 july protestors encountered more violence from militants and Basij troops and more people have been injured and killed. In the next few days more than 300 journalists, politicians, lecturers, reformists, writers, students, and active supporters of Mousavi were arrested and imprisoned, being accused of establishing Silky or Green Revolution against the authority of Iran.

All the Iranians around the world held similar protests to condemn the government of Iran for violence and neglecting the human rights. The most large protests occurred in the countries like France, Germany, Italy, USA, and Canada, announcing their support for the Iranian inside the Iran and requesting democracy for Iran
