Some 250,000 people demonstrated against Iran's Islamic regime in Munich's Theresienwiese on Saturday afternoon, according to local police.
The demonstration was part of a global day of action called for by Reza Pahlavi, the son of the last Shah of Persia. Pahlavi was in Germany to attend the Munich Security Conference over the weekend.
The demonstration's slogan was "Human rights and freedom for Iran. International solidarity with the Iranian people."
Chants calling for the end of the mullahs in Iran were heard repeatedly, and flags of the USA and Israel were visible, according to reports from the German public broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR)
Pahalvi, who spoke at the rally after attending the Munich Security Conference, said he wanted to lead the "transition" in Iran and enable a democratic future for the country, BR reported.
At the conference, he told journalists that Iran's future was a critical test for global security and asserted that the Iranian regime had been exporting instability for nearly fifty years, undermining the sovereignty of its neighbors, fueling conflicts in various regions, and advancing its nuclear ambitions.
In his speech at the Theresienwiese, Pahlavi urged the international community to support the freedom of the Iranian people, according to BR.
