Reza Pahlavi was only 16 years old when Iran’s 1979 revolution toppled his father’s forty-year rule. The eldest son of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, he was the first in the line to inherit the oil-rich thousand-year-old empire.

Following two weeks of constant protests, Iran has given its most severe warning yet to demonstrators. The Iranian attorney general, Mohammad Movahedi Azad, issued a warning to all protesters that any person who takes part in the protests will be labelled as an "enemy of God".

Protests in Iran have continued despite threats from the government to crack down. Online videos show demonstrators protesting Friday night, even after authorities shut down the internet and cut phone lines.

Iranian Montrealers rallied in the downtown core Saturday afternoon in a show of support for the people of Iran. Over the past two weeks, the country has been rocked by massive protests that began over Iran's ailing economy and continue to be fueled by anger toward the regime.

Iranians in over 100 cities and towns across the country are protesting on the streets, shouting slogans against the regime and demanding greater rights.

Demonstrations that began as outrage at the state of the economy have spread to cities across the country, amid an escalating crackdown by the authorities.
