Tehran, Iran, Jun. 12 – Dozens of women have been arrested as State Security Forces (SSF) clamped down on a peaceful demonstration by several thousands Iranian women in Tehran, a protestor told Iran Focus by telephone.

Security forces attacked the women who had gathered in 7 Tir Square demanding equal rights, the source said.

“Put an end to misogyny”, the women chanted. There were also chants of “freedom, freedom”, “we are human beings but have no rights”, and “we want equal rights”.

Hundreds of young men took part in the rally and clashed with the agents of the SSF.
