Iran: Protest & Clash

Crowd in Vali-Asr Street

Tehran: Vendors were attack and their properties looted by the Security and City agents

In a coordinated and barbaric attack against vendors, the suppressive security and city agents confiscated the properties and disrupted the business of a number of venders in Vali-Asr Street telling them that they can’t set up their business out there.
The action by the security and city agents angered the these venders prompting one young man to shout and get in to scuffle with the guards saying he was university graduate with a professional degree in Chemistry, but has been unable to find a job in his own field. He screamed that he and his sister had to turn to this type of job and try to manage their lives and support their family by selling women’s clothing. But instead of facilitating a decent job for a university graduate, the government is preventing them to have this small business which can barely make enough money to survive. He continued to shout that if there is no job for them and if he can’t even sell petty merchandize, he then would be as good as a dead man. 
He also complained that his sister who was standing next to him was pushed around by the agents and was harassed and insulted. 
Other people who were in the vicinity also got angry and attacked the agents forcing them to leave, but the vendors also were removed from the street.
