The Beverly Hills City Council addressed topics ranging from licensing to commission appointments at its Dec. 6 formal meeting. But two items not on the agenda provided the evening’s most stirring moments. Namely, Councilmember Sharona Nazarian’s update on the humanitarian crisis in Iran and Mayor Lili Bosse’s recap of her historic trip to the Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism in Athens.
“Today marks Day 81 of the uprise in Iran that has become an all-out revolution and demand for regime change, since the brutal murder of Mahsa Amini by the morality police,” Nazarian said. She noted that Iran was in the midst of a three-day, countrywide strike in protest.
