Uprising in Isfahan, Shahin Shahr and Najaf Abad, Shiraz, Mashhad

Angry protesters in various cities across Iran demontstra against the tyranny of the mullahs’ regime

Since this morning, Thursday, August 2, angry protesters in various cities across the country, including Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz, Najaf Abad and Shahin Shahr, demonstrated against the tyranny of the mullahs’ regime, chanting slogans such as: Death to the Dictator. It was at a time when the repressive forces were on full alert from the first hours of the morning to prevent the formation of these protests, but they failed. The Internet connections have slowed down in many parts of the country.

Demonstration started at Shapur Jadid in Isfahan with the slogan: Don’t be scared, don’t be scared, we are all together. The people burned rubber tires to counteract the tear gas and prevent the attack of repressive forces. Anti-riot guards and criminal plainclothes mercenaries attacked the protesters; however, the people clashed with and punished them with sticks, rocks and even bare hand. A number of protesters were arrested.

In Shahin Shahr (Isfahan province), the people protested, chanting: Iranians, support us!.

A large number of people in Shiraz started their protests from the Zand intersection and chanted: Death to the Dictator; Cannon, tank, firecracker, the mullahs must be killed; Rouhani, shame on you, let go of the country. Courageous young people are struggling with repressive forces, and by burning tires, they have blocked IRGC forces and anti-riot guard mercenaries.

Thousands of people from Mashhad rallied from Shohada Square to Tohid Square and chanted the slogans: "Death to the Dictator; Down with high prices; Shame on you who live in palaces, let go of the country. The repressive forces started shooting into the air and firing blank guns. The riot guard attacked the people and arrested some of them, but the people continued to confront and continue their protests. They also chanted: High prices, misery, down with Rouhani.

Thousands of protesters demonstrate in Mashhad saying Death to the Dictator

The demonstration of the people of Mashhad, which began this morning at Shohada square in front of the city's municipality, spread quickly to a vast area of the city, with the participation of about 10,000 people. Demonstrators, who included men and women, elderly people and children, chanted 'No to high prices', 'Rouhani’s government; with empty promises', 'If you stop one case of embezzlement, our problems will be solved', 'Neither Gaza, nor Lebanon, my soul is sacrificed for Iran'.The presence of women in this gathering was impressive.

 

 

 

Before the rally started, a large number of repressive forces and counterinsurgency guards were present in the place. However, due to large number of people they could not do anything. People pushed the police forces aside and continued to demonstrate. Half an hour after the gathering, the crowd moved to the shrine of Imam Reza. The people who were plundered by various financial institutions joined the rally too. Police officers began shooting into air and throwing tear gas in order to intimidate and disperse the people, but the youth threw back the tear gas to the regime's forces. People chanted: 'Police, go and arrest the thief', 'Death to Rouhani' and 'Death to the dictator.'

 

 

When people gathered in front of the shrine of Imam Reza, police forces attacked the people and severely beat a number of them, and sprayed tear gas at the eyes of a woman. This made people furious and in protest against this brutal attack, they broke a number of middle-of-the-road blocks and signs and fences and punished the officers who had beaten the women. The arrival of water cannon vehicles made people angrier who attacked the water cannons with rocks, wood and glass, and clashed with the repressive forces who were shooting at them. The clashes left a number of people harmed and wounded. A number of repressive forces, scared of people, escaped from the scene by their motorcycles.
