"Death to tyranny," "death to apartheid," "death to fascism" and "we want no nuclear bomb" chanted students in their demonstrations in Tehran.
In fear of further spread of protests and unrest, the clerical regime organized a rally in which they blamed the People’s Mojahedin for the uprising. The state-run news agency IRNA said demonstrators chanted slogans against the PMOI, the US and the UK.
Najaf Aghazadeh, head of the Justice Department in Eastern Azarbaijan, blamed the unrest on foreign agents trying to take advantage of protests to create insecurity.
