    Fire Festival protests – 5

    NCRI - On Sunday, the clerical regime dismantled all of the kiosks it had previously set up in various squares and parts of Tehran as paramilitary Bassij posts, fearing that Iranian youths will set them on fire.

    Moreover, according to directives issued by the Tehran Council for Security, municipalities are also asked to remove garbage bins from streets before the start of Fire Festival celebrations. The measure is carried out under the pretext of “improving safety in the city and prevention of probable accidents.”

    The trepidation of the desperate ruling mullahs is to the extent that they have ordered: “On this day [March 16], garbage bins must be emptied on two or three different occasions by the municipal services in order to prevent rioters from using them.”

    At the same time, on March 14 and 15, the regime’s officials expressed anger over the fact that “the youths have politicized the Fire Festival,” and threatened families not to go out with their children during the festival. The regime’s agents have instead recommended playing with firecrackers on rooftops, threatening families by saying that there is a possibility of shootings and riots during the Fire Festival.
