SALT LAKE CITY — Iranian American protestors gathered at the Utah State Capitol on Saturday to speak out against the Islamic Republic's killing of Iranian protesters and calling for the U.S. government to fight back.

Amini died a year ago in the custody of Iran’s morality police after being arrested for allegedly violating the country’s strict dress code for women, sparking widespread protests.
Members of the Ukrainian community in Utah also came to the protest to show their support, wearing Ukrainian flags around their shoulders. Anjom said, "Their plight serves as a stark reminder that when oppressive regimes such as Islamic Republic expand their influence, they sow the seeds of misery and destruction wherever they turn their attention."
"I'm here in solidarity with you," Bennion said. "We share the same values of women, life and freedom."
