Mourners attacked by suppressive forces
NCRI – According to the Social Headquarters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran inside the country, a large crowd turned out today, December 31 at 14:30 local time in Tehran’s Enqelab and Saadat-Abad streets to pay respect to those killed during the Ashura uprising. The suppressive forces opened fire on people, some wearing white shrouds as a sign of being ready-to-die.
Armored vehicles have been brought to streets to clampdown on demonstrations under the orders of Khamanei.
Enqelab Square is swarmed with regime culprits and a number of armored vehicles are stations there. More anti-riot armored vehicles are coming in from the nearby city of Karaj, west of Tehran.
By creating disorder in public transportation, regime is trying to prevent people from joining demonstrators. Metro stations at 7-Tear and Enqelab are closed and electric buses at Azadi Square are shutdown.
