‘Like a dystopian episode of Black mirror': New Yorkers slammed for war crimes protest

Sky News AU20-06-2025
Attorney Elica Le Bon slams the hundreds of people who protested in Times Square in New York, calling for an end to US war crimes in Gaza and Iran, with some reportedly waving the Iranian regime flag.
'We don't even call them the Iranian regime, they are the Islamic regime … it is not the name we gave them; it's the name that they gave themselves,' Ms Le Bon told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus.
'That flag is a flag that symbolises oppression for tens of millions of Iranians.
'It's both upsetting and incredibly ironic that we're seeing these so-called human rights protestors go pouring out into the streets for the first time to say hands off the regime in Iran.
'Where were they when it was time to say hands off the Iranian people for 46 years that this regime was oppressing and harming Iranian people?
'It's literally like living in a dystopian episode of Black Mirror.'
