Voor de vierde achtereenvolgende avond gingen duizenden Iraniërs gisteren in de hoofdstad Teheran de straat op om te protesteren tegen het islamitische regime. In één lange file demonstreren ze, al toeterend, vanuit de auto. ,,Dood aan de dictatuur!''
In a tense atmosphere in central Tehran, Islamic militiamen probably from the Basij volunteer force tied to Iran's Revolutionary Guards, manned checkpoints and looked carefully into vehicles circling the streets around the university campus.
"They pulled some people out of their cars and beat them with their fists and sticks. Even young girls were beaten," a photographer at the scene said. "I've seen at least 10 injured people. One man had a knife wound," he added.
