Tens of thousands took to the streets in cities across Iran after Friday prayers to condemn French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for publishing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad.
The biggest demonstrations were in cities other than Tehran, with state television showing large crowds angered at the depiction of the prophet.
The image was published one week after 12 people were killed by Islamist gunmen at the magazine’s Paris offices because of earlier such cartoons.
“Death to France, death to Israel, death to Britain, death to Charlie Hebdo,” the crowds chanted in southern cities such as Qom and Isfahan, carrying flags and placards in reverence to the prophet.
The protests follow a loud but peaceful demonstration Monday outside the French embassy in Tehran where those gathered called for the ambassador to be expelled.
