National Council of Resistance of Iran No. 157

The clashes spread over a large part of the city and the police station was burnt down
Following the demonstration of people of Kazeroon on Wednesday May 16, the intelligence and security
forces of the regime arrested a large number of people of the city, especially the youth. Hundreds of people
gathered in front of the police and security forces centers and called for the release of the detainees. Mullah
Khorsand, the Friday Imam of the regime in Kazeroon, went to the scene to deceive the protesters and
disperse them, but the people heckled him and he fled.
The repressive forces first began firing tear gas and shooting in the air, but the people continued their protests
and emphasized on the release of the arrested people. Then, the regime forces directly opened fire to the
people. In the course of these clashes, at least two young people were killed and many were wounded and
arrested.
The people of Kazeroon defended themselves with stone and wood, and set the police station on fire. The
clashes spread to a large part of the city, including the streets of Revolution, Hamidi and Palestine, and
continued until midnight. At 1:00 AM a column of repressive forces from Shiraz entered Kazeroon.
