Countdown to February 20 Anti Government Demonstrations in IRAN

Large-scale anti-government demonstrations are planned for Sunday, February 20 to remember the deaths of two protesters considered by Iranians to be martyrs of Iran’s Green Movement. The two were killed during an earlier demonstration on Monday in clashes with the Basiji militias.

The Iranian government cracked down ruthlessly on the Monday demonstrations. Large turnout is expected for Sunday’s planned demonstrations.
