Protesters in Iran’s holy city of Qom join nationwide protests
Protesters in Iran’s holy city of Qom joined nationwide demonstrations, chanting “Long live the Shah,” according to videos received by Iran International.
The footage shows demonstrators voicing support for Iran's exiled prince Reza Pahlavi.
Qom is one of Iran’s most important Shi’ite religious centres and a key political stronghold of the Islamic Republic, home to major seminaries and senior clerics who traditionally support the government.
Another video from protests in Qom on Thursday shows demonstrators remaining in the streets despite a heavy security presence and attempts by security forces to disperse the crowd.
