In response protesters took to the streets and clashed with authorities in the port of Kuhestak. The regime\u2019s security forces opened fire on the protesters, leaving a third protester injured with a gunshot wound to his leg. Angry over authorities opening fire on local fuel traders, people have expanded their protests to various parts of this town and even set several police patrol boats on fire. People were still in the streets in the afternoon hours and the atmosphere is reported to be very tense. Reports indicate several other protesters have been injured as a result of the security forces opening fire. One report indicates anger is escalating among the local population, leaving authorities extremely concerned and already scrambling to cut-off or severely slow internet connections to prevent reports of this incident from leaking to the outside world.
