Thousands of Tehran residents poured into streets on Sunday chanting “Death to The Dictator” Demonstrators jammed Shariati Street in north of capital at 9:30 p.m. (local time).

Cell phone communications were cut off by the government preventing the protesters from spreading the news.

• On the 16th day of the Iranian people’s nationwide uprising, on Sunday evening, thousands of youths protested in Shariati Street in Tehran. Suppressive forces attacked the protestors with batons, tear gas, pepper spray, and water cannons in attempt to arrest them or force them to disperse.

The very high level of tear gas used has left a white cloud over the area. Suppressive forces have also blocked off many roads leading to Shariati Street and besieged the people there. However, people are continuing to clash with agents of the Revolutionary Guards. Clashes are continuing at 9 p.m. local time in Shariati and Mirdamad streets and in the vicinity.
