The fight for democracy in Iran continues to spill into Montreal's streets.
On Friday night members of Montreal's Iranian community and their supporters gathered downtown for a candlelight vigil.
It was the tenth mass gathering since the controversial June 12 re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president of Iran.
Canadian policitians from three levels of government, including Denis Coderre are condemning the crackdown on protestors in Iran.
"That government has no right to do that," said Coderre. "If they think that they can bully or intimidate people, that you notice that the people of Iran are all standing up together and I think that we should applaud that."
Organizers are expecting two thousand people to show up Sunday for another vigil downtown.
Meanwhile Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is lashing out at Barack Obama for interfering in Iran's political situation.
"You should know that if you continue the response of the Iranian nation will be strong," said Ahmadinejad.
Obama was initially conciliatory towards Iran after he was elected, but has since criticized Tehran's crackdown on opposition protests.
