Bandar Abbas, Sep. 28 – Widespread clashes have erupted between people and security forces in Nour-Abad region of Mamasani, Bandar Abbas and Miandoab

At least seven people have been killed and hundreds more were reportedly wounded and a vast number of people have been detained.

The commander of Miandoab’s security forces and two members of his entourage were killed by a violent crowd which had taken to the streets following revelations of corruption within the clerical establishment. Smoke could be seen rising from the rooftops of many government buildings. Charred debris were visible from burnt vehicles of the State Security Forces (SSF). Townspeople took control over the regime’s security headquarters.

One man was reported to have been killed in one of the ensuing clashes between local residents and SSF forces and Revolutionary Guards sent in from neighboring districts. Many more have been wounded in the street battles.

This morning in Bandar Abbas members of the Revolutionary Guards Marine Corps killed 3 persons, according to eye-witnesses. Local residents, outraged by the news of the killings, rioted and attacked the Governors office.

Clashes were still continuing by nightfall.
