Ella Bee Media Group was live on the streets of downtown Los Angeles to report on the Iranian-American protest as calls for freedom and a regime change towards democracy following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini who died in detention by the morality police for not properly wearing her hijab in Iran prompted global outrage.
According to Al-Jazeera, Amini had come to Tehran, from her hometown of Saqqez in Kurdistan province, with her family when she was detained by the specialist police unit that enforces the strict dress code that was made obligatory for women shortly after the Islamic revolution of 1979.
The Los Angeles region is home to the world’s largest Iranian community outside of Iran. There are about 400,000 Iranian-born immigrants in the United States, and more than a third of them live in the Los Angeles metropolitan region, according to data from the Migration Policy Institute. If you look at Iranian immigrants globally, roughly one in 10 live in Southern California.
