'QODS DAY'
Tehran- reports on Quds Day march
Sept. 3, 2010
The seven paths that the Iranian regime had determined for the Quds Day March was so empty that the government was forced to park public transportations automobiles in these paths and streets. From Azadi Square to Enqelab Square in all the paths, the crowds barely reached one thousand. Regime supporters were walking in groups of two or three towards Enqelab Square which was the main site of the gathering in despair because of the lack of public participation Millions of colorful posters, pictures and other writing were left unused in the hands of regime forces because there were no mass crowds to distribute the posters to. The crowds participating in the Quds state-run marches were those who usually participate in Friday Prayers. Even those who usually came just to get food and drinks did not participate in the march.
Tehran – Karim Khan Zand Street
Security forces were out on force on the streets. A young man was arrested after passing by a number of security forces. They would arrest anyone they deemed suspicious and a van full of arrested young people was seen in this street.
Valiasr Street
There were clashes between security forces and the people in this region. Special Guards Forces were also on the scene in the Square. Cell phones were also down at that time in this region.
In the Karimkhan and Farahani intersection which is actually Haft Tir Square about 100 people who came out of the metro were chanting ‘no to Lebanon, no to Gaza, I will only sacrifice for Iran’.
13:30 in Friday Prayers
Today instead of fruit juice which is usually distributed by the regime to gather crowds for a bigger turnout, they were giving out pens with six colors and key chains to participants because of the month of Ramadan.
