On June 26, 2007 and shortly after the Iranian regime announced the start of a fuel rationing program, residents in Tehran, Khuzestan, Gorgan, Azerbaijan, and elsewhere took to the streets in protest.
The protests and demonstrations continued into the morning hours in many areas of the capital, including Azadi, Saharvardi, Piroozi, Imam Hossein, and Tehran-No streets.
To crackdown on the protests and prevent them from spreading into other areas, the regime dispatched its suppressive forces, including the Revolutionary Guards, the Bassij paramilitary force, State Security Forces, and intelligence agents into the streets. As a result, scores of people were arrested and/or injured.
The medieval clerical regime will hang the prisoners as thugs, hooligans, and drug traffickers to escape possible international reactions.
