Shopkeepers and industrial employees in numerous Iranian towns went on strike, according to activists, as the sixth week of the nation-wide demonstrations spearheaded by women in response to the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini began.

Witnesses said that despite heavy security, anti-government demonstrations occurred at a number of campuses in Tehran.

Tens of thousands of protesters protested in Berlin on Saturday in support of the Iranian protest movement. About 80,000 people, according to the police, attended the event. Initially, the event's planners anticipated 50,000 attendees.

Participants waved Iranian flags and banners with the slogan "Women, Life, Freedom" in both English and German, condemning Iran's government.
