Iranian protesters clash with security forces across country as protests enter 7th week
(Worthy News) – Iranian protesters clashed with security forces in Karaj, near Tehran, and in a number of other locations on Thursday, throwing stones at police cars and tipping over and torching their vehicles, according to footage reportedly from the city.
Many of the protests reported on Thursday took place as Iranians marked important parts of the mourning process (the seventh or the fortieth day) for protesters killed by security forces.
Videos published by the 1500tasvir Twitter account showed large crowds blocking roads and protesting in Karaj, as people headed to the grave of a protester killed during the demonstrations named Hadis Najafi. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
