Iran city spends turbulent night after football match
Thu. 9 Jun 2005




Iran Focus

http://www.iranfocus.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2337

Tabriz, Jun. 09 – The city of Tabriz in northwest Iran was the scene of mass anti-government demonstrations last night after the Iran’s 1-0 victory over Bahrain in the football World Cup qualifying match.

Young people poured into the streets following the match and, when security forces tried to disperse them by force, celebrations quickly turned into anti-government protests, an Iran Focus correspondent in Tabriz reported.

A huge portrait of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was pulled down from an overhead bridge and set on fire on Abresan Street. Young men and women were seen dancing around the burning portrait, shouting “freedom, freedom”.

Chants of “Referendum, referendum, this is what people want”, could be heard throughout the populous provincial centre that is home to Iran’s largest ethnic minority, the Azeris. Senior government officials have been voicing growing concern at the sharp rise in anti-government activities across East Azerbaijan Province, which has Tabriz as its capital.

“Guns, tanks, the Bassij are no longer effective”, young men chanted as security forces were overwhelmed in the face of the spontaneous outpouring of thousands of people from their homes. The Bassijis are Islamic vigilantes that act as a paramilitary security force.

Demonstrations continued until near midnight with traffic in Nosfeh-Rah and Abresan junctions coming to a complete standstill.

At around 23:30 undercover state security agents were seen arresting a number of people at Abresan. Demonstrators responded by shouting anti-government slogans. At least two girls were among dozens of young people who were detained.

Its pretty sad that you people take credit anytime Iranians are in the street as "anti-government protests". Their celebrating Irans qualification of the World Cup next year, as your pictures show. Stop twisiting everything that happens in Iran to attempt to support your political agenda. IT WAS A FREGGIN SOCCER CELEBRATION....geez

In that case I am extremely happy that Iranians, in their joy, destroy pictures of the leaders of the IRI. It fills me with joy! Looking forward to Germany next year!

Cut down on the alcohol man. The concept of "joyful celebration" is in direct contradiction to the principals of the Islamic Regime let alone the burning/tearing apart of pictures of the Regime's leaders/presidential candidates and slogans calling for the death of Islamic Regimes leaders and those who support the regime violently, and women taking their veils off in front of policemen among other things.

Seek help.

Proof? References? In the case of the Soccer celebrations in Tabriz, show me people
- burning/tearing apart pictures of the Regime's leaders/presidential candidates
- slogans calling for the death of Islamic Regimes
-women taking their veils off in front of policemen among other things

Because so far all you've showed are Iranians celebrating a soccer victory.

Really? Are you their spokesperson? Doesn't the government celebrate the Anniversary of the Revolution every year? Don't they celebrate Noruz? According to you these events somehow go against the governments principals. If what you say if true, provide proof. Show me where joyful celebrations of any kind are prohibited. All you guys do day in and day out is get excited by eachothers lies. Pathetic.

After what happened to Atabi, who would want to take pictures of that and risk long prison terms?

They may not be tearing regime leaders pictures but you should be sure that they have chanted against the Mullahs.

They did take pictures if you look at the ones Cyrus provided. Unfortunately, all those pictures show are people celebrating Irans soccer victory. But of course....when people starting rioting, burning pictures of government leaders, taking off their Hijabs in front of cops....everyone with a camera coincidently ran out of film.

No...I don't have anything against women dancing

So you just make that assumption without any proof? At least your staying in consistency with most of the posts on this board.

Well that proves my point. Why take pictures of something you will be severely punished for? Basijis love messing with a woman without her burka.

Well then sorry, but you can't use something that doesnt exist as evidence. How do you know there were burning/tearing apart pictures of the Regime's leaders/presidential candidates, slogans calling for the death of Islamic Regimes and women taking their veils off in front of policemen among other things, if theres absolutely no evidence supporting these claims? You expect people to simply believe anything you say, when everything is based on speculation and bias?

Badbakht cut down on the booze. The burning of pictures of regime leaders were reporterted by news agencies and so has all the other acts that i've listed you idiot. But if you expect your boss Shariatmadari to report it that's just wishful thinking. Now what's up with all this activity from your part all of a sudden? Are you feeling the heat?

News Agencies? Ohh right....Iranfocus...the most neutral, un-biased site on current Iranian affairs. My mistake, everything you said suddenly has absolute credibility.
