The Iranian regime is attempting to disperse a gathering of people in Laleh Park. At around 7:30 pm local time, the Iranian regime’s plain-clothes agents, State Security Forces (SSF) and special units tried to disperse the protestors who were mourning the loss of their loved ones during the nationwide uprising. The park itself had been surrounded by SSF, special units and other regime agents on motorbikes. In streets leading to Kargar Shomali Street, special units and SSF agents had been positioned and armed with various equipments to clamp down on protests. Inside the park, the regime’s forces (including bikers, plain-clothes agents and SSF) were patrolling the area, preventing anyone to stand in one spot. People with cell phones were searched and questioned by SSF and plain-clothes agents.Women, young and old, and youth were walking around the area, hoping to find an opportunity to form a crowd or gathering. Heavy traffic had gripped Keshavarz Boulevard and Amirabad Street as a result of the presence of a slew of suppressive forces. Plain-clothes agents and special units have also been stationed in other parts of Tehran, including Enghelab Square, Ferdowsi Square, Haft-e Tir Square and Vali-e Asr Sqare.

Iranians living in France and French people joined members and officials of the NCRI in the service. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, said: “Close to 200 people of this brave, devoted, and determined generation have lost their lives to the bullets and daggers of Khamenei's criminals and thousands more have been wounded or arrested. Addressing the international community, Mrs. Rajavi said: “Let me ask governments who are not willing to give up appeasement of the murderous rulers [in Iran] even as young Iranians are being brutally killed in the streets - those who regard negotiations with this regime as their strategy - how much more blood must be shed in the streets and torture chambers for your conscience to awaken?” “The Iranian people and Resistance will force them to abandon this backward policy”, she added. Mrs. Rajavi added: “The tide is turning against the mullahs’ regime, and it will not turn back because the brave women and youths of Iran, who have come to the streets, will not rest until they gain their freedom”.
