22 killed scores injured in Iranian protests and clashes
The protests started against price hike, unemployment and corruption in the second largest city of Mashhad and spread to other cities and towns. The protests are small in numbers compare to the 2009 protests but widely spread out. Even the protests are taking place in small towns and rural areas. Now the protestors are demanding to end the theocratic rule, more democratic rights and political freedoms.
No end seems in sight as violence flare up. The regime is determined to use the repression and brutal force to quell the protests. on the other hand, the young people and students seems determined to challenge the theocratic rule. Iran is heading towards instability and chaos.
