The rally follows nationwide protests in Iran, which started in December over economic hardships and quickly turned political and were repressed in the most violent crackdown since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Shahin Gobadi, a member of the foreign affairs committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran , claimed the crowd numbered 100,000, saying thousands were unable to travel to Berlin after flights were cancelled because of weather.
