The Jerusalem Post reports: “Crowds of Iranian demonstrators gathered at the graves of protesters murdered by Iranian security forces during the anti-government protests that continue to sweep Iran to mark 40 days since their murder on Thursday.
A large crowd of protesters gathered at the grave of Hamidreza Rouhi at the Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery in Tehran to mark the 40-day anniversary since his death. The protesters chanted ‘Death to the IRGC, death to the entire system!’
Rouhi was shot to death by Iranian security forces during anti-government protests in November.
Video reportedly from the scene showed Iranian security forces firing tear gas at the protesters who blocked a nearby road. The protesters reportedly managed to chase away the security forces, with video showing demonstrators running towards security forces as tear gas was fired. A person allegedly attempted to attack the protesters with a knife as well.
A large crowd of protesters also gathered at the grave of Ali Abbasi in Semirom, chanting ‘Death to Khamenei!’ and other anti-government slogans…”
