Anonymous artist turns Tehran fountains blood red in support of Mahsa Amini protesters

A number of fountains across the city appeared as if filled with blood on Friday, with the dramatic change reportedly attributable to an anonymous artist or activist.

The red liquid in the fountains’ basins has been referred to as a protest artwork whose title roughly translates to “Tehran sinking in blood,” the Middle Eastern Eye reports.
