Day 4: Demonstration in front of the parliament

The picture is from today's demonstration in front of the Swedish parliament. Please note that the flags are not representative of the Camping 4 Freedom movement. The crowd can bring their flags to our events as visitors, and long as they don't claim that this is their event or that we are their supporters. We do not support any political group or religion, we support the freedom seeking people of Iran.

We are against the violent demonstration at the Iranian embassy today. We have gotten this question several times since the events took place at the embassy, so we want to make this clear: Since we were not there, and we did not take part in that demonstration, we do not want to have any relation to those events. We have since the beginning said that we are for peaceful demonstrations and that Iran should be a place for all Iranians no-matter their political ideas, even for those that aren't the same as ours, this is true freedom.
