Reuters cited sources as saying that the regime’s forces fired tear gas canisters in Tehran, including Enqelab (Revolution) Square, to disperse anti-regime demonstrators.
The Wall Street Journal cited witnesses as saying thousands of men and women gathered in Tehran’s Mohseni Square. There was a heavy presence of the regime’s suppressive forces and the paramilitary Bassij in Tehran’s sensitive locations.
The Wall Street Journal added that a video clip posted on the Internet shows anti-riot forces standing on sidewalks at a central location in Tehran beating protestors with batons to prevent them from gathering in one spot.
