SMCCDI: Security measures increased in Iranian cities
Aug 4, 2003
Security measures have been increased, since this evening, in most Iranian cities as many Iranians are intending to celebrate, from the early hours of Tuesday morning, the 97th anniversary of the banned Constitutional Revolution of 1906.
Patrols have been increased the Capital and most main provincial cities in order to stop vehicles for ID check and the search of passangers.
The areas most under special watch of the Capital are the Baharestan square, Rey, Majidieh, Tehran Pars, Tajrish, Vali e Asr and Guisha. Same increase of surveillance have been reported from cities, such as Esfahan, Tabriz, Mashad and Shiraz.
Many groups of young freedom fighters have created quantities of hand made detonation devices and will start to use them in the early hours of the morning and during the popular gatherings which will take place later on Tuesday.
The 1906 Constitutional Revolution was an unprecedented move which created the path for the creation of a Nation-State based on Secularism and Modernism in Iran. Clerics have always tried to undermine its legacies as contrary to their illegitimate power.
