According to news reports from Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran the nightly rooftop protests in Tehran continue. On Friday July 24th people took to their rooftops and side streets between 10:00pm-10:30pm shouting “death to dictator.”

The protests took place in many different areas in Tehran including “Sedkhandan, Mirdamad, Aghdasiye, Tehran Pars, Shams Abad, Azadi etc...” Security forces and BAsij were present in large numbers riding their motorcycles and trying to create fear among the people, however they were not successful and people continued shouting slogans without paying any attention to the security forces.

Protests of Families of Political Prisoners and their Concern for Their Loved Ones


According to news reports from Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran the families of those recently arrested continued to gather on Saturday July 24th and Sunday July 25th to gather in front of the Revolutionary Court and the Evin Prison in hopes of obtaining news about their loved ones. According to this news report Regime Agents have started turning over the bodies of protestors who have been murdered during the protests, to their families. Regime officials are putting a lot of pressure on these families, preventing them from having public memorials for their loved ones. Number of protestors have been killed under torture in the infamous Kherzik Detention centre, also known as the “death camp.” Most of those gathered were the mothers of those arrested who wanted someone to at least tell them whether their children were still alone or not.
