According to one of my contacts in Tabriz, about 30,000 people took to the streets and protested yesterday. The protest was not silent by any means and people were shouting slogans such as “death to the dictator.” According to my source 8 people were killed by the Regime forces. In fact he witnessed the murder of one individual who was beaten to death by an electrical baton.

Further according to news from Radio Farda “Ansare Hezbollah” attacked Tabriz University dormitories yesterday and beat the students. According to this news source 7 people were shot to death, while number of students were thrown out of the windows.
