US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday jointly saluted Iranians who have taken to the streets for months after the death of a young woman detained by religious police.

The two leaders “express their respect for the Iranian people, in particular women and youth, who are bravely protesting to gain the freedom to exercise their human rights and fundamental freedoms, which Iran itself has subscribed to and is violating,” said a joint statement issued by the White House.
