On Wednesday, December 7, nightly protests continued in Tehran and other cities. People marched towards Azadi Square in Tehran, which they had started at noon and continued until late at night. Despite the heavy presence of State Security Force (SSF) and plainclothes agents, people chanted “Death to Khamenei” and “Death to the dictator,” and cars honked on Azadi Street in support of the protesters. Suppressive forces attacked people in different places and opened fire on them using pellet guns. In some streets, they shot at the windows of people’s residences who were cheering or filming the protesters. Hit-and-run clashes with the security forces continued, and people lit fire in the middle of Azadi Street.

On Jeyhoon Street, locals held nightly protests. They were attacked by suppressive agents who fired tear gas at them. In Towhid Square, protesters were chanting, “This year is the year of sacrifice; Seyyed Ali (Khamenei) will be overthrown.” People at the Tehran Ta’atr-e Shahr (City Theater) subway station were chanting, “We are no longer scared; Mullahs must get lost.” In Chitgar, people chanted, “Bloodthirsty Khamenei, we will bring you down.”

In many cities, including Karaj, Mashhad, Isfahan, Ardekan, Ardabil, Mallard, Yasuj, Najaf Abad, Arak, Bukan, Bushehr, Saqez, Qazvin, Ilam, and Bomehen, people staged protests chanting “Death to the dictator,” and “This year is the year of sacrifice; Seyyed Ali (Khamenei) will be overthrown.” In Isfahan, people protested in Charbagh district, chanting “Death to the dictator” and blocking the road. The clerical regime’s agents opened fire on the protesters. In Ardekan, locals chanted, “We don’t want a child-killer rule.” In Najaf Abad, people chanted, “Poverty, corruption, and high cost of living; We shall carry on until the regime is overthrown.”
