Youths clash with suppressive agents at Enqelab Square in support of a young girl
NCRI – Passengers at the main platform of Tehran’s railway clashed on Friday with the Iranian regime’s suppressive forces, chanting “death to Khamenei,” referring to the regime’s Supreme Leader. The clashes took place after the occurrence of problems in ticket sales and services at the station.
The fearful forces of the regime quickly called for reinforcement and forced people out of the railway station, but people still resisted at Rah Ahan Square just outside, chanting anti-regime slogans.
Separately, on Thursday afternoon, after suppressive forces violently assaulted female pedestrians at Enqelab Square in Tehran under the pretext of “mal-veiling,” people reacted by clashing with the forces. Beatings of the young women and men coupled with their insults were met with resistance on the part of the people on the scene, who courageously rose up in support of the young girl. Simultaneously, drivers of nearby vehicles honked their horns to protest the violence perpetrated by the regime’s agents. Consequently, clashes and hit and runs erupted between protesting youths on the one hand and reinforcements and members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on the other. The regime’s agents injured a number of youths and arrested them, including a young girl, taking the detainees to unknown locations.
