Hundreds of people demonstrated in Hamburg on Monday against human rights violations in Iran and against the Islamic Center (IZH). A police spokesman said the protest was peaceful. About 450 people took part in a rally. The Kulturbrücke Hamburg and the Verein Säkularer Islam Hamburg had called for the action within sight of the Blue Mosque on the Alster. It was only on September 26 that a man disguised as a parcel delivery man gained access to the building and soiled the foyer with red paint.
Several women cut their hair in protest at the rally on Monday, as a dpa photographer observed. A man with longer hair also symbolically had his hair cut off. Demonstrators posted signs demanding that the IZH be closed immediately. The Islamic Center, which operates the Blue Mosque on the Alster, is regarded by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution as Iran’s outpost in Europe.
