SSF commander in Tehran monitors suppressive forces in a chopper;
NCRI - This afternoon, Colonel Khancharli, Deputy Commander of Tehran Operations of State Security Forces (SSF), is flying in a helicopter in Tehran in order to control the city and protest acts by the youth on the occasion of Fire Festival.
Despite the regime’s suppressive measures, this morning, packages containing A3-sized pictures of the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, were distributed among people in various parts of Tehran, including Imam Hossein Square so that they could burn them during the celebrations. There were slogans on the pictures saying, “Celebrate Fire Festival with the burning of the picture of the oppressors’ supreme leader,” “Festival of light against darkness: Burn this picture.”
In Shahrak-e Gharb, youths celebrated the coming of Fire Festival by setting alight fire crackers.
Comedic clips depicting Khamenei and his cohorts, as well as a call to participate in the Fire Festival, were distributed widely on the internet and through the mobile phone networks.
In phone booths at Tehran’s Aryashahr, youths widely posted invitations for people to participate in the Fire Festival celebrations with the slogan of “down with the principle of velayat-e faqih [absolute clerical rule].”
