Resident in the southern Iranian city of Ahvaz took to the streets on Friday (January 30) to protest against the Iranian regime’s lack of action regarding the worsening dust pollution in the oil rich province of Iran.
Ahwaz has been the most polluted city in the world, based on data compiled by the World Health Organization in 2013.
