I stood outside the U.S. Consulate in Melbourne as Iranians gathered, desperate to be heard. They weren’t chanting for slogans or ideology. They were chanting for freedom, and for help, as protests rage back home under an information blackout.

One man told me plainly, “It’s time to take action against a terrorist regime that has been killing, torturing and suppressing our people for 47 years.” Another woman who had fled Iran told me what it is really like living under the radical Islamic regime. “Once they silence the protest, they just start killing people,” she said.
