Iran: people boycott regime’s annual 1979 anniversary march

Documentary report showing people boycotting regime’s Feb. 11^th march

One Iranian reports from the scenes:

People in Tehran took the Feb. 11^th march as more of a joke. There was not a single place where one could see an organized group actually marching and marking this day. This march had literally turned into a carnival for people who had no other place to go.

The entire crowd was estimated at less than one million people. All the streets and city squares were nearly empty, whereas the regime had rallied people from cities across the country.

Apparently the regime itself was tired of its own past demagogic theatrics. There were no free fruit drinks, no free sandwiches and no…

Many of the various centers and stores in the square where the ceremony was held, and areas around it were closed. This year regime officials had forced people to close their stores, yet many were half-open and it was obvious that authorities were forcing stores to close to compel people to attend the ceremony. Even all the recreational and cultural centers were closed in contrast to previous years when they were left open.
