Tehran, May 23 – Residents of south Tehran’s Salsabil and Khosh districts on Saturday distributed leaflets and wrote political graffiti on walls urging people to join the 10-day anti-government protests called for next month.

Hundreds of leaflets, stating: “June is a month of combat, from which [Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali] Khamenei is shaking,” and “Don’t forget 10-20 June,” were distributed throughout the districts. In Salsabil junction, graffiti on walls said, “The month of June has come again; the regime’s life will come to an end.”

Elsewhere, in Takht-e Tavous Street in the capital’s northern Behjat-Abad district hundreds of leaflets were distributed urging residents to “come out onto the streets for freedom. June 10-20 are the days of reckoning. We can and we must.”

Iran’s main organised opposition has called for 10 days of nationwide protests to mark last June’s nationwide anti-government demonstrations.
