According
to reports from Iran, the security forces have so far killed more
than 200 protestors and injured more than 3000. Several thousand have
been arrested and detained. The regime has threatened to execute
those who were arrested during the demonstrations. In the province of
Kurdistan the Revolutionary Guards have ordered the hospitals not to
treat those injured at the demonstrations.
In
Shiraz, army tanks patrol the streets. Three tanks were also seen on
the streets of Mahshahr three days ago. This shows the strength of
the people’s struggle. The Islamic Republic has used all of its
oppressive forces but has not been able to repress the uprising.
Hence, it has brought its armoured vehicles onto the streets.
In
the Afsariyeh neighbourhood, in the south-east of Tehran, the
demonstrations continued through the night and the people clashed
with the security forces. In Sattarkhan Street, in the west of
Tehran, the demonstrators - with women on the front lines - clashed
with the police and pushed them back.
In
the cities of Doroud and Khorramabad the demonstrators attacked
several government buildings.
Demonstrations
and clashes with the security forces continue in Isfahan. It has been
reported that in Eslamshahr one Revolutionary Guard and a Basiji were
killed during the clashes with the protestors. In Fereydounshahr, in
the province of Isfahan, the Revolutionary Guards raided hospitals
and kidnapped the corpses of dead and injured protestors.
Protests
continue in Marivan; the death toll is high in this city. All shops
are closed; the people have taken control of some neighbourhoods and
do not let security forces enter. In Javanroud the people have pushed
back the security forces. In Kermanshah, the security forces demand
500 million Tomans in order to hand over the bodies of the killed to
their families.
Demonstrations
and protests continue in Ahvaz and Khorramshahr. 17 have been
reported killed by the security forces in Mahshahr. People continue
their protests despite the atrocities of the security forces. In the
city of Asalouyeh, petro-chemical complexes and refineries are closed
due to road blockages. The Haft Tappeh Sugar Cane workers and the
Polyethylene Petro-Chemistry workers continue their strikes. In the
cities of Ahvaz, Shush, Behbahan, Khorramshahr and Omidiyeh, the
families of the detainees continue their protests in front of the
prisons. Families of those who were killed also protest in front of
the forensic medical centre. At least 35 have been reported dead in
these cities.
The
Internet shutdown continues; the regime is trying to prevent people
from communicating with each other and contacting the opposition
abroad in order to hide the extent of its atrocities and barbarity.
Some governors have said publicly that they are not allowed to reveal
the number of the dead.
We
call upon human rights, workers’ rights, and women’s rights
organizations and unions worldwide and the international community to
strongly condemn the crimes of the Islamic regime, to put pressure on
the Islamic Republic and to support the people in Iran who fight for
freedom, equality and a prosperous, humane society. We call on the
international public to join the demonstrations that are being
organized abroad in solidarity with the people in Iran.
