At 9:30 am in the morning of Sunday, January 31st, near Tehran’s
Vahdat Amphitheater units of the so-called “Guidance” police, along with women
officers and plainclothes agents were seen around this site and in the streets
of Shahriar, Nofel Lushatu, Enghelab and Vaezi, harassing those seeking to the
enter the hall.
Female police officers distressing two ladies at the amphitheater entrance
caused an outrage and protests by artists and other people at the site.
The amphitheater was the site of a film festival, an eyewitness said. The
presence of these agents around the amphitheater made various people, art
college students and artists concerned over the fact that similar to the year
before “Guidance” agents would begin harassing the people and take action to
interfere with the entire film festival.
The presence of male and female police officers at the film festival raised
protests against the representative of the Minister of Guidance in the hall,
and the agents were forced to leave the site fearing a major and widespread
protest act by the people.
