“When SSF agents arrived, they opened fire into the crowd indiscriminately wounding some protesters,” a bystander said.

“Close to 30 people were also arrested by the SSF,” she added.

A shopkeeper’s wife, taking part in the gathering said, “They [police] did not pay any attention to the age of participants and began shooting.”

On July 16, the semi-official news agency Fars website devoted an entire section to power outages in different parts of the country, including Bandar Abbas, a port city in the south, Sistan-Baluchestan, a province in the east, Isfahan and Shiraz in south-central Iran and Mazandaran province in the north.
