A demonstration in San Francisco in solidarity with the protest movement in Iran drew hundreds of people Sunday.

The large group gathered in front of San Francisco City Hall, carrying signs.

Community members, State Senator Scott Wiener, city supervisors and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins attended the rally.

It was the latest Bay Area rally in support of equality for women and in support of the people in Iran, who are protesting and being met with a crackdown. People have been arrested and killed.

Protests in Iran spread after a 22-year-old woman died in custody, detained for an alleged violation of the strict dress codes for women.

Many spoke in unison about the need for freedom and called for regime change in Iran.
