In Iran, Women’s Day demonstrations erupted<\/a> across several cities on March 8, with women leading the charge for change. In Khash, Sistan & Baluchestan Province, women protesters chanted slogans demanding the release of political prisoners and asserting their right to freedom. Meanwhile, people in Tehran’s Narmak and Sattarkhan districts and the city of Rasht chanted anti-regime slogans, including calls for the overthrow of the dictator and the release of political prisoners.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Regime authorities in Tehran responded with force, deploying anti-riot units that fired tear gas and shotgun pellet rounds to disperse the crowds. In Karaj, west of the capital, locals were heard chanting “Death to the dictator,” while reports from Sanandaj, the capital of Kurdistan Province, indicate that local officials ordered a large number of security units into the streets to prevent any kind of rallies and gatherings.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
