—also appeared to show security forces clashing with protesters. In some instances, police and security agents can be seen firing what appear to be fireworks at gathered demonstrators.
Zohre, a 25-year-old law graduate who did not wish to give her full name for fear of retribution, said:"At the beginning, the demonstrations were peaceful and there was no violence on the part of the people. But unfortunately, the regime responded with bullets." Rouhani, too, has backed the protesters. The president said Thursday demonstrators"have the right to speak, express themselves, protest and even take to the streets within the framework of the regulations." Rouhani blamed"opportunists" and"rioters"for the violence and the killing of demonstrators.
