Heaviest Iran protests since June
Dec 27th
Under the guise of celebrating the Shia festival of Ashura, when street parades are common, hundreds of thousands of Iranians in Tehran protested today, in what many reported as the heaviest demonstrations since they began this past summer.
Some streets were dominated by protestors, who shouted for the downfall of Ayatollah Khamenei and burned police vehicles. Other streets saw the police with the upper hand, using gas and clubs to intimidate demonstrators. Unofficial witnesses claim that for people were shot by police, when they fired a warning shot and then fired into the crowd. One of the victims is claimed to be Seyed Ali Mousavi, the nephew of the reformist leader Mir Hossein Mousavi.
Four more people may have been killed in Tabriz, and hundreds arrested around the country.
