Tehran, Feb 22 (V7N) — Anti-government demonstrations have resurfaced in Tehran this week as mourners gathered to commemorate people Died in shootings allegedly carried out by security forces during earlier unrest.

A large protest took place on Saturday at Amir Kabir University, where thousands of students and activists reportedly joined a mourning program that turned into a political demonstration. Clashes were reported between protesters and groups supporting the government. Witnesses said some demonstrators chanted slogans referencing the era of the monarchy before the 1979 revolution.

Background of Unrest

Recent months have seen repeated protests across Iran, initially triggered by severe inflation and worsening economic conditions. Several international human rights organizations have alleged that security forces used excessive force during earlier demonstrations, with claims that thousands of people were killed — allegations the authorities dispute.

Current Situation

Although sporadic protests continue, the overall situation in Iran is described as relatively calmer compared with the peak of last month’s unrest. Meanwhile, solidarity demonstrations have taken place in several countries, where activists accuse Iranian authorities of indiscriminate shootings during the crackdown.
