Iran Protesters In Dublin

Protesters on O'Connell Street in Dublin

One of the things that I love about being in a foreign country is that you get to watch their news broadcasts. You start to see world events through their cultural lens.

While I was in Dublin, the British government forced two Iranian diplomats out of England. There was a lot of press coverage of the dispute over and recent uprising after the election.

While I was walking down O'Connell Street, a main thoroughfare in Dublin, I noticed this protesters. It had never occurred to me that people in Ireland would be protesting the election in Iran.
