"SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Protestors from across the Bay Area gathered Sunday afternoon in front of San Francisco's Ferry Building, demanding regime change in Iran after thousands of protesters have been reportedly killed over the past several weeks of uprising. The protest was followed by an evening vigil at Washington Square Park in honor of the lives lost. ABC7 News Reporter Tara Campbell spoke with organizers and people whose family members are caught in the uprising."
""There's a lot of anger right now. And Iranians, and our hearts and our minds, and we don't know how to channel that, and I thought that this would be a good container for that," said Sam, vigil organizer. The Human Rights Activists New Agency reported on Sunday that it has verified more than 3,700 deaths and fears the number could be much higher. The agency is also reporting that more than 24,000 protesters have been arrested amid the Iranian regime's crackdown."
