Women arrested during Women's day demonstration in Tehran Park

Iran Press News: On Tuesday, March 8th, Tehran's Laleh (Tulip) Park's entrances were blocked and the park was entirely surrounded by security forces and storm troopers put in place in order to squelch the celebration and demonstrations planned for International Women's day; hundreds of brave women from Tehran, representing various opposition groups had gathered to commemorate this occasion
A large number of courageous women inside and outside the park displayed placards supporting the Democratic movement against the theocratic regime.

From Tuesday morning, security forces, storm troopers and Islamist plainclothes hooligans surrounded streets leading to the park. These forces confronted anyone seeking entrance to the park and attacked them with batons and night sticks.

Many women were severely beaten, arrested and taken away in paddy wagons. Despite the arrests and incursions of the security forces, the throngs of demonstrators who were dispersed around the park perimeters continued to ignore their assailants; they persisted in fighting their way into the park, in order to join the demonstrating groups who were there vehemently expressing their hatred for the misogynistic Islamic regime.

According to the same reports more than 50 of the detainees were taken to the 148 precinct located in at Revolution Avenue and Valiasr Circle in central Tehran. The detainees were cuffed and mistreated by revolutionary forces. The demonstrators however, stood their ground and persistently sang various Iranian nationalist anthems.
