More Sporadic clashes rock Iranian cities

More sporadic clashes rocked main Iranian cities, yesterday evening and for the 2nd consecutive night, as small groups of protesters and freedom fighters used the darkness of the night in order to come into streets and squares to show their rejection of the Islamic regime.

East and South Tehran, Esfahan, Shiraz, Kermanshah and Ahwaz were scenes of new violences as the regime's special forces and plainclothes men attacked the demonstrators.

Sporadic but violent clashes happened as groups of masked freedom fighters retaliated to the attck of the regime forces who were using plastic bullets, knives and chains against any demonstrators no matter their age or gender. Molotov Cocktails and other incendiary devices were used against the regime forces often falling in prepared traps.

Groups of young were waiting, on top of roofs, for the militiamen who were chasing female protesters in darkened streets.

The most violent clashes happened in the 2nd and 3rd squares of Tehran Pars and Javadieh in the Capital, in the Robat street of Esfahan and the University area of Ahwaz by resulting in several new wounded among the demonstrators but also among the regime's men.

Tens of other demonstrators were seen beaten while some of them were already arrested or laying on the ground due to their injuries.
