According to obtained reports, Ahmadinejad was speaking at the so-called Qods Stadium in the western city of Hamedan. The regime’s suppressive State Security Forces (SSF) arrested several youths to prevent the expansion of the protest act.
Despite the regime’s preparations to increase the number of attendees at the speech, the crowd was in fact small with most of it was comprised of elementary students.
A picture posted on the web displays how the regime failed to organize its forces to attend the speech in Hamedan, which has a population of half a million people. As a result, more than 200 buses brought in forces from other cities with promises of cakes and drinks. Even these forces soon left the stadium even as Ahmadinejad was still speaking.
