Iran: people resort to any excuse to stand firm against state repressive forces

repressive state police agents

A number of repressive state police agents entered a sports club in Tehran at 10 am Sunday, January 24th, closing the facility under bogus pretexts. This led to a scuffle between club members and state agents.
After entering the club the state agents began censuring the owners for ridiculous reasons, including the music being played must not be Iranian (!), the athlete’s clothing and other issues, according to eyewitnesses.

Finally, they closed down the sports club and insulted two of the athletes inside the facility. Youths protests such repressive measures and this led to physical scuffles with the state agents. Terrified of such a reaction from the people the agents decided to flee the scene and would not dare take any further measures.
