A violent confrontation between protesters and security personnel erupted on Thursday, 40 days after an Iranian TikTok star was gunned down by regime forces.
Protesters honouring Hadis Najafi, 22, overwhelmed armed security forces opening fire on them, allegedly seizing some weapons before fighting back. Photographs and video of bloodied regime enforcers appeared on social media, some lying dead or unconscious on roadways or in motor vehicles.
