Iran’s Raisi heckled by female students as more protesters killed
Several deaths were reported in yet another day of turmoil in Iran, with women and men taking to the streets to confront armed riot police.
Bullets, teargas, scuffles and business strikes brought many Iranian cities to a standstill on Saturday, as the country was rocked with another round of protests that began after the death of Mahsa Amini in hijab police custody last month.
In the capital Tehran, key locations including streets leading to the traditional Grand Bazaar witnessed running battles. Protesters chanted slogans against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, before being attacked by riot police. Videos from the same locations also showed demonstrators blocking roads, while a massive cloud of smoke was billowing from what was reported to be a police kiosk set ablaze.
