Iran: Martial law in the streets of Shiraz

ssf_units_iranNCRI – An undeclared martial law is imposed in the streets of the southern city of Shiraz.

The mullahs' regime has imposed an unannounced curfew in the Satarkhan and Chamran streets which are two of the busiest places in the tourist attraction city.

There have been road blocks and check points set up to control citizens especially at nights by the State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police.

Four or five well armed agents ride on SSF vehicles patrolling the area. Citizens are stopped at the check points and asked all sorts of questions. The most ordinary is the relationship between passengers in the cars. Agents are suspicious of young males and females riding together and want to find out their marital status. 

Along Satarkhan and Chamran in between the official check points there are white vans belonging to the Chastity Units of the SSF for imposing their regulations mostly on women and what they have on.

The last part of a journey passing through all checks come the unofficial check points set up on the side streets by the paramilitary Bassij forces consisted of fervent young men with newly grown beard and an AK-47 machinegun loosely hanging from their shoulders just to make sure those stopped take them serious.
