NCRI – According to reports, following the public slack response to the Bahman 22nd Parade Show (the anniversary of 1979 Revolution in Iran) in Tehran and other cities on February 10th 2017, the Iranian regime intended to bring the crowd at the event to various tricks. The following are some of the tricks played by the regime in different cities of Iran.
The Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance of Iran announced its employees via Twitter to gather at 10:45 AM in front of the entrance building of the Ministry for participating in Bahman 22nd Parade. The Administration Support and Welfare Services of the Ministry also announced via Twitter that 500 thousand Tomans (155$) has been deposited to the welfare bonus card of the employees.
The participation in the Parade was so insignificant in Kermanshah at 10.30 AM that the government officials commanded the taxis to spin around Azadi Sq. several times.
The people of Iranshahr banned Bahman 22nd Parade and did not participate in it. Only the primary school students were forced to come to the rally.
One of the citizens said that no one chanted slogan and the people were only walking along the street. The students forced to participate in the parade were also mocking the parade.
The repressive forces of the regime imposed strict security measures in the vicinity of Azadi Sq. of Tehran. The Electricity also cut off in some parts of Tehran. In order to bring the people to the event, the Iranian regime pulled all sorts of tricks such as free barber’s service in the street.
