Kazerun is mourning and restless.
Susan. Sh. FCNN News Agency: Kazerun, one of the southern cities of the country, experienced insecurity conditions today, Friday. The killing and wounding of a number of protesters and the arrest of many residents in recent days have failed to calm the protest rallies in Kazerun.
Even the Interior Ministry's threat of taking decisive legal action against those disrupting public order and security in Kazerun has so far had no effect on popular protests.
Reports reaching FCNN indicate that the police and repressive forces dispatched to Kazerun are unknown and perhaps foreign. They created a completely secure situation on the streets this Friday. However, the protest gatherings, but scattered by people who ignore this threatening situation, continue in the city.
People are angry. In recent days, the people of Kazerun have been met with gunfire in response to their protests.
Some reports indicate that some of the mourners were armed with firearms, but eyewitnesses, speaking to FCNN, emphasized that people were only using broken pieces of walls or street tiles to defend themselves against the repressive forces and throwing them at the officers.
Today, most of the clashes took place in the "Martyrs' Charity" Square, and officers used special guards to protect the small number of Friday worshippers.
The intensity of the clashes today has reached the point where even pedestrians are not safe on the streets and officers are throwing stones at them.
According to eyewitnesses, the officers are trying to prevent the continuation of the protest rallies by increasing intimidation, while their violent confrontations, which have resulted in the number of deaths and injuries, have increased the number of people supporting the protesters.
Fire Anger People Off No To be
According to these witnesses, the slogans raised by the protesters over the last three days show that the protest against the country's divisions regarding Kazerun was only an excuse for public gatherings.
One of these witnesses said in an interview with FCNN: "People openly express their opposition to the Islamic Republic in their slogans, but the Ministry of Interior and the domestic and even foreign media put these slogans on the sidelines of the conflicts so that the people's legitimate demands are ignored. However, the regime's mistake of sacrificing more than ten protesters in Kazerun does not allow the fire of people's anger in this city to be extinguished."
Scattered news from this southern city of the country indicates that on Thursday night, May 17, six protesters were shot in Kazerun.
On May 16 of this month, the first day of the protests, a number of protesters were killed and injured, but there is no reliable information on their number. Even the number of those arrested is not known. One of the regime's security measures in the first two days of the protests was the cutting of mobile phone communications in the city, which was resolved yesterday. However, the entrances to Kazerun remain closed and under strict security control.
Kazerun is one of the southern cities of Iran in the western part of Fars province, it has many ancient and historical monuments and has been of interest to sultans and powerful people throughout history.
