One witness to the clashes told Voice of America that police forces blocked the street and beat the protesting investors, and subsequently forced several protesters into a van and took them away.
Security confrontations with investors of financial institutions in Iran are not unprecedented. Previously, Eighth Coin investors held rallies in March during which police clashed with the protesters.
