The tactic was used by the regime’s forces in various parts of Tehran, including Vali Asr intersection and in front of the University of Tehran. But, each time, the courageous protestors refused to relinquish the “Death to Khamenei” slogan and even chanted it louder, according to the PMOI’s Social Headquarters.
