9. Symbolism and Messages of the 2026 European Demonstrations
Protests across Europe used powerful symbolism to communicate their messages clearly and emotionally:
- Waving Iranian flags to symbolize national identity and resistance.
- Burning images of Khamenei or the Iranian flag to symbolize rejection of the regime.
- Fake blood to symbolize victims of state violence.
- Photos of imprisoned activists and victims to humanize the struggle.
- Slogans like “Freedom for Iran,” “Stop Repression,” and “Justice for Victims.”
