Reuters: The authorities have banned memorial gatherings for a leading dissident cleric in most parts of Iran, reformist websites said on Thursday, days ahead of an emotive Shi'ite ritual that may draw more opposition protests. Vast crowds attended the pro-opposition cleric's funeral procession in the holy Shi'ite city of Qom on Monday, some chanting anti-government slogans. On Wednesday, opposition websites said security forces clashed with his backers who were gathering for a memorial service for him in Isfahan, one of Iran's biggest cities. There were also reports of scuffles in his nearby hometown, Najafabad >>>

could go civil war?

by gitdoun ver.2.0 on

im very impressed and i think it's great that people are standing up for their rights but if they go for a regime change expect a civil war. The armed minority Cultists of Khamenei will use alot more lethal force in the months ahead and spill blood knee high to protect "God's Government".

Iran protests spread in heartland;
State of Emergency in Isfahan;
Regime Threatens Harsh Crackdown

Iran protests spread in heartland -- latimes.com

The LAT reports further on Wednesday's demonstrations in Isfahan and Najafabad, pointing out that these central regions are strongholds for the regime in general, making the challenge mounted there seem especially threatening. There were also further demonstrations at Tehran University and the eastern city of Mashad. There was also a local protest against an execution in the southern city of Sirjan.
