Sit-In at Tehran Grand Bazaar Dispersed with Tear Gas
Hundreds of merchants and shopkeepers stage a sit-in at Tehran's Grand Bazaar, the commercial heart of the capital, demanding economic reforms and an end to the crackdown. Security forces fire tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. The bazaar, a traditional power base for the regime, has been closed for over a week due to strikes and protests.
