Protests have been going on in Iran for two weeks regarding inflation and falling currency. The demonstrations became more violent on Thursday night (January 8), when Iran’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi appealed to people to come out of their homes and demonstrate against the Islamic regime.
Following Reza Pahlavi’s appeal, a large number of people took to the streets. Meanwhile, the Iranian government has deployed security forces to clear the roads. It is being told that large scale demonstrations are taking place in at least 50 cities of Iran. People are coming out on the streets and shouting slogans against the Iranian regime.
Slogans in support of Reza Pahlavi
The most important thing is that during the demonstrations, slogans are being raised in support of Reza Pahlavi, whereas till now sloganeering in support of Shah was punishable by death. According to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, so far 39 people have lost their lives in the violence during the protests, while more than 2,260 people have been detained.
