 London, Mar. 11
– An Iranian opposition satellite channel aired on Saturday footage of a demonstration
in Tehran by hundreds of women celebrating
International Women’s Day, and a brutal raid by Iran’s security forces to break
up the rally.
The rally took place on Wednesday afternoon in Tehran’s
Laleh
Park. Numerous women
were beaten up by truncheon-wielding policemen and dozens were arrested as
they resisted attempts by security agents to disperse the demonstrators.
The television, Simaye Azadi
-- “Vision of Freedom” in Persian – said the film was taken by women
activists in Tehran.
