This was while all suppressive organs and forces were put on full alert to deal with the situation, reported Resistance&rsquo;s sources in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>To stop the spread of popular gatherings, the clerical regime rapidly dispatched agents of the State Security Forces (SSF) &ndash; mullahs&rsquo; suppressive police &#8211; and paramilitary Bassij force riding special vehicles to disperse the crowds.&nbsp; They attacked citizens and arrested youth in a bid to avert national celebrations which symbolized public outrage against the regime.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mahmoud Salarkia, Tehran&rsquo;s deputy prosecutor on prison affairs, 700 people were arrested last night in Tehran charged with &ldquo;disrupting peace and creating fear during Fire Festival.&rdquo;<br \/>In many parts of Tehran including Vali-e-asr Square, the youth celebrated the feast by setting on fire the pictures of Khomeini, Khamenei and Ahmadinejad.<\/p>\n<p>In Sadeghieh Square, the youth clashed with the agents of SSF who tried to disperse them. To create fear among the crowd, the SSF agents arrested a number of the participants and released the detainees when local residents intervened.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp; <br \/>In Tehranpars, Satarkhan, Karimkhanzand, Ponak and Naziabad districts, Enghelab Square and Azadi Square the Fire Festival celebrations were carried out despite all repressive measures.<\/p>\n<p>The sounds of fire crackers were heard in all districts.&nbsp;
