The demonstrations that rocked the streets of Tehran were some of the most violent since the post election violence that shook the nation after the disputed Presidential election conducted in the month of July this year.
The web sites run by the reformists in the country along with Mr. Mousavi’s own website confirmed the demise of his nephew and was later confirmed by a close aide to Mir Hossein Mousavi, broke the news on the basis of anonymity. An amateur video footage was also released that clearly showed the angry mob of protesters hurling stones at the security forces and setting the police and authority vehicles on fire.
The protests were part of an anti-government movement that has caught a lot of domestic and international attention, especially after the post election violence of July and the movement has witnessed a surge in terms of followers who are now disgruntled with the current Iranian regime headed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The mob that took to the streets, chanted, “Death to the dictator” and carried out demonstrations, inspite of the warnings given out by the authorities.
