But the difference was the plainclothes police who were among the groups of demonstrators. &#8230; As soon as [the protesters] dared to chant slogans, they were arrested and taken away to the waiting buses. I have watched videos &#8230; about the demonstrations in Shiraz and Isfahan and other cities.
