The regime, in fear of protests on Sizdah-bedar ,has set up check points and inspection posts in most of Tehran’s main streets and public places. Cars and passersby are being stopped and searched. The suppressive measures are more intense in Azadi Square and Enghelab Square where more people gather to celebrate Sizdah bedar.
Telephone lines have been disrupted since Thursday in various places in Tehran, particularly in eastern Tehran and in nearby townships of Boumehen, Roudehen, Pardis, Damavand and Gilavand. Disruption of telephone lines have also been reported by state-run media which has affected the fixed lines too.
