Global Day of Action draws one of Toronto’s largest protests ever

Up to 350,000 people flooded a stretch of Yonge Street in North York on Saturday in what police described as one of the largest Iran-related demonstrations the city has seen in recent months.

The rally, part of a worldwide Global Day of Action called by exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi, brought major road closures, transit adjustments and hours of gridlock to the city’s north end — but for the most part, outside of one arrest, demonstrations unfolded peacefully.
