Anti-government demonstration in Orumieh, Iran

24 May 2006 [20:24] - TODAY.AZ
Demonstrations erupted in Orumieh yesterday afternoon and continued until late hours on Wednesday evening.

According to NCRI, on Tuesday afternoon, people came out onto the streets and chanted anti-government slogans. They were met with the State Security Forces (SSF). Many government buildings and centers were torched in the demonstration.

The brutal onslaught on the uprisings in East and West Azarbaijan and Zanjan as well as in Khuzistan, Kurdistan, Sistan and Baluchestan provinces by the SSF and other security forces clearly reflects the weakness and desperation of the regime in the final phase of its rule.
