Iran: Protests erupt for first time in weeks
(Worthy News) – Protesters marched in several Iranian cities in the most widespread demonstrations in recent weeks, online videos appeared to show.
The protests overnight Thursday marked 40 days since the execution of two Iranian men last month. The two men, Mohammad Mehdi Karami and Mohammad Hosseini, were hanged in January.
