Violent clashes rock south Tehran

Violent clashes rocked, Shahr e Rey, the southern poor suburb of Tehran opposing brutal militiamen to hundreds of protesters. The popular protest started by today's mid morning and resulted in clashes following the intervention of the regime forces by late afternoon.

Clubs, chains and tear gas were used in order to smash the rally which started peacefully against the official corruption and various financial malversations in the Orchid Town's Development & Management funds by the local authorities.

The regime's troops first stayed afar, contenting to film the demonstrators but intervened by end of afternoon by witnessing the constant increase of the protesters w ho started to shout slogans against the regime and its leaders, including Ali Khamenei.

In retaliation to the brutal attack, the demonstrators set tires ablaze and blocked the two southern beltlines of the Capital. Pieces of stones and Molotov Cocktails responded to the brutal aggression resulting in several injured among demonstrators and the regime forces.

Several anti-riot and patrol vehicles were damaged during the clashes.

The situation in the area is very tense and more protest actions are expected, tomorrow, as thousands of Iranian workers are intending to protest against their poor conditions.
