Increase of repressive measures lead to clash

SMCCDI (Information Service):
Several Capital residents were injured or arrested, yesterday, as they tried to oppose one of regime's repressive measures.

The clash happened as security agents who tried to confiscate several motorbikes, in the Pich-Chemran area, faced a stiff resistance by the owners.

Slogans against the regime and its leadership were shouted by bikers and several supporters despite being beaten up by brutal militiamen who burned one of the motorbikes.

Perimeters were immediately closed in order to avoid a spread of the unrest and protesters were transferred to an unknown location by brutal militiamen.
