Violent clashes rocked the western City of Hamadan as the Islamic regime's plainclothes men and security forces intervened in order to put stop to a speech made in the "Teachers Forum" on the political situation. The clashes spreaded soon to neighboring streets and hundreds of residents started to shout slogans against the regime and calling for true and free elections in Iran.
Slogans such as "Referendum, Referendum, in ast shoar mardom!" (Referendum, Referendum, this is the People's slogan!) and "Nabood bad Estebdad" (Down with Dictatorship) were shouted.
Special forces of the Pasdaran Corp. and plainclothes men attacked tens of students, teachers and scholars as well as their supporters with clubs, chains and tear gas resulting in the injuries and arrests of tens of demonstrators.
