HTN: Iranian-Americans Protest Downtown

About 50 Buffalo-area Iranian-Americans gathered this morning outside City Hall to protest the recent presidential election in their native land. The largest anti-government demonstrations since the 1979 Iranian Revolution are currently happening in Iran. Some of the protestors say they're not for or against either candidate, but rather stand for democracy and the people of Iran. The group also hopes to hold a candlelight vigil this Friday night on the University of Buffalo South Campus.
