September 18th, 2009

Shiraz -1730 (summary report). the people attempted to gather in Namazi Circle in the morning, the security forces were already present. The people started walking towards Setad Circle and Paramount Intersection. During the march the Basij intermingled with the people. The plain clothes security people recognized the leaders and attacked them suddenly, separated them from the crowd and made the leader sit on their motorcycle which then departed immediately. Many of these leaders were saved by the people. Many more were taken away. Those attempting to rescue the leaders were sprayed with pepper spray.

There were a lot of people present. The chanted “death to the dictator” most often. The crowd consisted of people of all ages. However, the security forces primarily attacked the younger people. The leaders of the security forces were mostly old men who cried, “let us arrest these dirt and take them away and chop them into pieces.” The concentration of military force was such that it appeared as if there was a war going on in the city. (There was.)
