Hundreds of Iranian residents in Toronto gathered in support of Iran’s national uprising, holding a protest outside the offices of the Canadian national broadcaster CBC.

Demonstrators called on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to provide broader coverage of protests inside Iran, according to reports received by Iran International. Participants pointed to widespread internet shutdowns imposed by the Islamic Republic, urging the network to amplify the voices of Iranian protesters and reflect developments on the ground.

The Persian-language account of the United States Department of State wrote on X that on the 13th day of protests, the biggest fear of the Islamic Republic has become fully clear: Iranians are united and demanding change.

In a separate post, the account said the authorities’ response has been to cut internet access, use violence against the public and blame “foreign agitators” for the unrest. The reality is now evident, it added, saying the Islamic Republic has fallen into serious trouble.
