Iranian
Kurds and security agents clashed heavily on Friday
in three towns in western Iran, leaving dozens
injured and hundreds arrested.
The disruption occurred after SSF agents used force
to disperse demonstrations taking place
simultaneously in the towns of Sardasht, Saqqez, and
Baneh in protest against severe fuel shortages in
the area, eye-witnesses reported.
The demonstrations quickly turned violent as
protestors fought back and shouted slogans against
Iran's ruling clerics.
Similarly, thousands of people flooded the streets
of Mahabad (Kurdistan province) in mid-February,
clashing with the SSF after days of gas, water, and
electricity interruptions.
The demonstration quickly turned into a mass rally
and youths set fire to banners and posters
celebrating the 26th anniversary of the revolution
that toppled the monarchy.
Eye-witnesses reported that at least two
plainclothes policemen were injured during the
ensuing clashes..
