The people of Kermanshah, a major urban center in the west of Iran, gathered in the city’s Freedom Square, Aryashahr, Maskan Boulevard, Nobahar, and other points and brought traffic on the city’s beltway to a halt. Several state-owned banks and petrol stations were set alight in the process. Security forces attempted to quell the protests with tear gas and water cannons but young people throwing rocks and setting bonfires to fend off the gas and block the advance of suppressive forces fought them off.
