Latest news and stories about iranian community in Portugal for expats and residents.

A protest outside the Iranian embassy in Lisbon demanded freedom for the Iranian people and the end of the Islamic Republic. About two hundred people gathered on Sunday, including at least a hundred Iranians living in Portugal. Those present say the country and their compatriots in Iran are held hostage by the regime and called for international support — from the Portuguese, but also from the United States and Israel — to end the religious dictatorship in place for 47 years. Alongside calls for freedom, some Iranians made a point of burning photographs of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while other protesters exchanged kisses — a gesture that would be forbidden if they were in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
