A flashmob froze for two minutes in memorial of those killed in post-election protest in Iran.
The flashmob was part of a series of events taking place around the globe in memorial of dead Iranian protestors. Other events took place in Vienna and New York as well as a lone protestor in London's Trafalgar Square.
Organiser of the event, Twitter user 'Greenthumbnails, said the event was "was a successful endeavor". At least 30 people took part in the freeze lasting two minutes outside California's Disneyland theme park. A supporter of the event said "we have so much freedom we take it for granted. That’s why Disneyland is the ideal place. It’s an iconic location."
Greentumbnails said he had organised the freeze because "I recently realized that we take our freedom for granted, and owe the people of iran a debt that i can never repay for enlightening me." He added that "by participating in this event, we hope to show the people that are ‘actually doing something’ that we are willing to take time from our day to gather and think about them.
