Burning of military buildings in Sij and violent demonstrations in Iran in protest of Mehsa Amini’s death

by time news

The protest in the streets against the Iranian regime does not stop, as tonight they continued in several cities in Iran and included violence. The demonstrations were called the ‘Night of Fire’ during which demonstrators set fire to government symbols, among others in Bushehr, where the demonstrators burned a huge effigy of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

In the city of Rasht in northwestern Iran, protesters burned the statue of the city’s previous imam, Tzadek Ahsanbakhsh. The demonstrators were called to come to the demonstrations in the central squares of many cities in Iran, for the November demonstrations “We are the revolutionaries of Bushehr, Barjan, together with people from all over Iran we will come to the squares and the central streets of our cities”, read the organizers of the demonstrations in a message published on social networks.

The Basij forces, armed militias operating from within the regime, became the main target of the anti-regime demonstrators. In Izia, southern Iran, protesters threw Molotov cocktails at the Basij base, in addition to the Basij base building in Mashhad, which was burned by a group of protesters.

Also in Tabriz in northwestern Iran, adjacent to Azerbaijan, the building of the local Basij forces was burned.

In videos circulated on social media, Iranian police officers are seen alongside Basij forces in civilian clothes throwing stones at the protesters. The protesters in Iran broke the threshold of fear in the capital Tehran as well. Yesterday, a video was published of protesters chanting slogans against Ali Khamenei and the Basij forces in the subway in the capital as well as various neighborhoods in Tehran.

Videos in which Iranian police officers are seen shooting at the citizens inside one of the metro stations in Tehran and causing panic, were published on the news channels. On the other hand, in many places, especially in the smaller cities in Iran, local policemen avoided suppressing the demonstrators and even took off their uniforms and joined the protests.

The regime in Iran is having difficulty dealing with the protests in the country that began following the death of Mehsa Amini, who was killed by beatings she received in the interrogation room, after she dared, according to the regime, to walk with her head not properly covered and not wearing her hijab properly. After her death was determined, the regime claimed that 22-year-old Amini died of heart failure and medical problems.
