A large crowd of protesters gathered at the grave of Hamidreza Rouhi at the Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery in Tehran to mark the 40-day anniversary since his death. The protesters chanted ‘Death to the IRGC, death to the entire system!’

Rouhi was shot to death by Iranian security forces during anti-government protests in November.

Video reportedly from the scene showed Iranian security forces firing tear gas at the protesters who blocked a nearby road.

A large crowd of protesters also gathered at the grave of Ali Abbasi in Semirom, chanting ‘Death to Khamenei!’ and other anti-government slogans…”
