Iran Press/ Iran news: After the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday, holding that there is no longer a federal constitutional right to an abortion, protesters, and supporters of the ruling gathered at the high court's building in Washington, DC, and in other cities nationwide.
Similar demonstrations are planned across the country over the weekend, according to CNN's research. Organizations like Planned Parenthood, Bans Off Our Bodies and Women's March are among the groups organizing the events.
Late Friday, law enforcement in Arizona used tear gas to disperse a crowd of abortion rights supporters protesting outside the State Capitol in Phoenix.
"Never held accountable, the U.S. police do not hesitate to press ahead with violence, excessive use of force, and a heavy-handed crackdown against any voices of dissent," Kazem Gharibabadi, Secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights tweeted.
"Nobody dares to question the so-called flag-bearer of human rights for the egregious violations of human rights!," he added.
