Participants began chanting anti-regime slogans, including “Khamenei is a murderer! His rule is illegitimate!”, “Death to the dictator!”, “We’re all together and we’ll fight to the end!” and “This is the year Seyed Ali (Khamenei) is overthrown!”

Authorities dispatched security units to the scene to prevent any possible sign of anti-regime protests as the massive crowd was growing in numbers. At least three youths have been arrested, according to local activists. Reports indicate Aylar’s father has also been arrested.

Also, in the city of Tabriz, a group of members of the Jamaran Housing Cooperative protested the cancellation of their general assembly and officials’ refusal to evaluate the credentials of a particular CEO candidate.
