Protest Actions Spread to Several Cities

SMCCDI (Information Service)

Feb 21, 2004

Protest demonstrations spread to several Iranian cities and erupted in various parts of Tehran today. Sporadic demonstrations reportedly rocked Abadan, Marivan, Arak, Eshfahan, Malekan and Hamadan. Anti-regime demonstrations in Izeh turned deadly with, apparently, loss of life.

The regime's reaction to the demonstrators expressing their legal right to protest yesterday's sham election has been predictably brutal. In every instance, the regime's security forces have conducted themselves as though they are foreign oppressors intent upon occupying Iran.

Tehran has been placed under strict martial law with regime security forces deployed throughout the city. In spite of the menacing security forces, young people are circulating on motorized cycles calling for an overthrow of the regime.

The general impression found among residents is that the regime must be removed, if necessary, by armed force.

Funny they should mention that. Because they are foreigners occupying Iran.

You're right. Many are.

It breaks my heart to keep hearing about violence against these protestors :-(

Prayers for their steadfast courage in this fight, for their safety, and for their success...
