Dozens injured as anti-regime protests erupt in Iran
Several people were injured after protests in Iran’s
capital city Tehran turned violent on Sunday night, with security forces
arresting demonstrators who had taken to the streets to protest against the
Iranian regime.
Demonstrations erupted across the country after the
Iranian regime admitted a civilian airplane was accidentally hit by a missile,
killing all 176 people on board.
Iran had initially denied that a missile hit the
plane.
Videos shared on social media showed protesters
gathering in cities across the country, and chanting anti-regime slogans.
A video showed an injured woman who had reportedly
been shot by security forces, according to Iranian activist Masih Alinejad, who
shared the video on Twitter.
We don’t want an Islamic regime,” demonstrators are
heard shouting in one video.
Other video footage showed Iranian women ripping
posters of Qassem Soleimani, the Quds Force commander who was killed in a US
airstrike in Iraq’s Baghdad earlier this month.
