Clashes between pro-reformists and security forces in Tehran have left several people injured, with one person reported killed.
Thousands of anti-government protesters marched on Monday on Enghelab and Azadi streets [which connect and create a straight path through the city centre], with a heavy presence in Enghelab Square and Vali-Asr Street.
Quoting witnesses, the AP news wire reported that
at least three protesters injured by bullets were taken to a
hospital in central Tehran, while dozens more were
hospitalised because of severe wounds as a result of being
beaten.
The semi-official Fars news agency said one
person had been shot dead and several wounded by
protesters.
"One person was shot dead and several were wounded by seditionists (opposition supporters) who staged a rally in Tehran," Fars said, without giving further details.
