Latest reports in reference to the popular demonstrations which took place, on Sunday, in some Iranian cities and especially the Capital, are stating about several deaths and tens of injured and arrested.
The most violent clashes took place, in Esfahan, Noor-Abad of Mamassani, Shiraz, Hamadan, Saghez, Khoram-Abad and Oroomiah (former Rezai-e) where security agents shoot on demonstrators by killing and injuring several of them.
In most cases, such as, in Noor-Abad of Mamassani (Fars Province) and in Khoram-Abad, angry demonstrators retaliated to the militiamen's brutality and the murder of several demonstrators by attacking the regime's forces with pieces of stones and incendiary devices. The popular reaction resulted in the injuries of several agents and heavy damages made to several patrol cars and public buildings, such as, Noor-Abad's Justice Palace.
Tens of demonstrators, especially young girls and boys, have been reported as missing following the demos of Sunday.
Situation of most provincial cities and Tehran have been reported as very tense and the security forces are remaining deployed in most strategic and popular areas.
I saw a show on Iranian press the other night.
Called "Red Lines and Deadlines". About a reformist paper called Shad. It was pretty good.
Not when the EU, Russia, China, and the most of the world media are behind them.
With all due respect, there are days when I wake up and think a parking lot would look real nice in Iran's general vicinity... ;-)
LoL...
Exaggeration in its best style.
So a baker's dozen of donuts in Tehran would be 11 then? ;-)
Seen that before. Suspect Farsi either doesn't have a term for "dozen" or it's not conventionally used in the plural for counting. (In Gaelic you'd say "twenties", not "dozens" or "tens.")
