Vancouver, Canada – Tens of thousands gathered at David Lam Park on February 14, 2026, for a massive Global Day of Action rally supporting anti-regime protests in Iran and advocating for Reza Pahlavi’s leadership in a democratic transition.

Video footage from the event shows the park transformed into a sea of humanity, with police estimating between 30,000 and 45,000 attendees. The crowd waved pre-1979 Iranian flags in red, white, and green, each adorned with the golden lion and sun, alongside portraits of Reza Pahlavi and banners reading “King Reza Pahlavi,” “Javid Shah,” and “Regime Change Now.”

As the camera moved through the gathering, the chants of “Death to the dictator!” and “Javid Shah!” rose in unison, blending with the beat of drums and the hum of thousands of voices. Families waved flags, youth dressed in Lion and Sun attire held placards condemning crackdowns in Iran, and elders shared stories of hope for a free nation. Police maintained a strong presence, ensuring the rally remained orderly as it spilled from the park into nearby streets.

Close-up footage captured the emotion and dedication of participants: tears of defiance mingled with smiles of solidarity, volunteers handed out water, and the massive Lion and Sun flag flew proudly over the crowd as a symbol of the “Lion and Sun Revolution.” The rally represented Vancouver’s role as the third-largest diaspora gathering after Toronto and Munich.

The video concluded with a sweeping view of the massive turnout under clear skies, demonstrating the global coordination of protests mirrored from Los Angeles to London and highlighting the diaspora’s unwavering push for freedom in Iran.
