NCRI – On the 15th day of the Iranian people’s nationwide uprising, on Saturday, many residents of Mashhad, particularly mothers of those killed by suppressive forces in recent days, protested in Mellat Park. Suppressive agents of the State Security Force (SSF) and anti-riot forces clashed with the protestors near the park, Shahrbazi district and the local mosque.
The gathering took place despite the suppressive forces having blocked entry points to the park and sent hundreds of female members of the Revolutionary Guards to suppress the mothers of the martyrs.
