Nationwide uprising in Iran – Statement 66
NCRI – To intensify the atmosphere of fear and terror, the Iranian regime has begun to arrest a growing number of youth in various Tehran communities under the guise of “hooligans” and “thugs.”
On Wednesday, July 1, the special anti-riot forces carried out a violent raid in the Vali-e Asr neighborhood, western Tehran, and arrested a group of youth in the process. The ferocious suppressive measure met angry reaction by local residents.
