Tens gather near Evin Prison at occasion of Traditional Sizde Bedar

SMCCDI (Information Service)
Apr 1, 2004

Tens of protesters gathered today near the Evin Political Jail in order to celebrate the traditional Sizde Bedar. The ceremony is qualified by the dogmatic clerics as a "Pagan Tradition" but has been tolerated due to the profound attachment of Iranians to their ancestral tradition and clashes that had resulted in previous years in order to keep it alive.

Security forces intervened around noon in order to block the accesses to the perimeters.

Slogans were shouted for free elections on the choice of the future Iranian regime, release of all political prisoners and the respect of human rights in Iran.

The demonstrators filmed by plainclothes agents marched around the area by singing the banned "Oh Iran!" National anthem under the angry watch of militiamen who stayed afar in most occasion.

Sporadic clashes took place as regime's agents tried to arrest some of the demonstrators at the issue of the action.

The crowd moved on later in order to gather at the "Park Mellat" (Former Park Shahanshahi) located nearby and beside the governmental TV HQ which was placed under intensive security watch by fear of a popular take over.
