Tehran, Iran,
Jun. 12 – Nearly 100 women were arrested by State Security Forces (SSF) in a
clampdown on a peaceful demonstration by several thousands Iranian women in Tehran, protestors told
Iran Focus by telephone.
Security forces used truncheons and teargas to attack the women who had
gathered in 7 Tir Square demanding equal
rights, the sources said.
“Put an end to misogyny”, the women chanted. There were also chants of
“freedom, freedom”, “we are human beings but have no rights”, and “we want
equal rights”.
Hundreds of young men took part in the rally and clashed with the agents of
the SSF.
