Uprising continues across Iran as more cities witness protests, clashes

Despite the scandalous attempt of the regime to launch counter-demonstrations in some cities, people in different cities of Iran came to the streets again on the seventh day of the uprising to express their oppostition to the ominous regime.

Despite the presence of a large number of security forces, including police and intelligence personnel, IRGC, Bassij, plainclothed riot police and mercenaries on motorcycles, demonstrations and clashes have been reported from various parts of Tehran.

In the streets of northern Kargar and Rustam, a major clash broke out between demonstrators and the riot police. In Enqelab Square, the riot police attacked people who were chanting “Khamenei, shame on your deception”, “Death to the dictator” and “we die, but we take Iran back”; and a violent clash broke out between the criminal riot police and the people.

Some young people were injured and harmed in these clashes, but others replaced them. In Gandhi Street, it was not possible to move to Enqelab Square due to heavy traffic and the people rallied toward Enqelab Square chanting “Death to the dictator”.

Demonstrations were also held at the Jomhouri Ave. while in Valiasr Ave. people gathered chanted “I’ll kill whoever killed my brother” and clashed with the riot police.

In Kargar Ave. the crowd chanted “Death to the Dictator”, “I’ll kill whoever killed my brother”, “Death to Khamenei” and “We shall fight, we shall die, we shall take Iran back.” In the Keshavarz Boulevard too people rallied. The regime has installed sniper rifles on the roof of government buildings surrounding Enqelab Square.

In yet another incident, the families of detainees in Tehran gathered in front of the Evin Prison Thursday (January 4). According to the regime, 450 people have been arrested in Tehran between December 30 and January 1. In order to prevent the protests in Tehran from spreading, the regime has imposed a heavy checking across the city.
