Clashes Spread to Northern Neighborhoods of Tehran

Tehran time: 13:27

Clashes between armed forces and supporters of the Green Movement , which erupted this morning in the western parts of Tehran, have now spread to the northern parts of the city.

Green Road Movement (Jaras): According to Jaras, scattered and violent clashes in Molasadra and other streets around Vanak Square have been reported.
The police are violently attacking protesters, but the sheer number of protesters has forced the police to retreat on many occasions. Scattered gunfire has been heard around the square, and police forces have fired large quantities of tear gas, demonstrating the police forces’ fatigue and their inability to disperse the supporters of the Green Movement.
