Apr 3, 2004

A bank was set on fire and windows of several public buildings were broken on Jey Avenue during a demonstration protesting the theft of savings by local banks in Esfahan today. 

Hundreds of residents defied security forces and set tires ablaze in order to show their anger against the Islamic regimes' empty promises to replace millions of Tomans (Iranian currency) that had been stolen from deposited assets.

Several demonstrators and members of the security forces have been injured.

The rumor of the bankruptcy of the local Islamic funds has resulted on massive withdraws and is leading toward its collapse. 

The situation is very tense and protesters have promised to come back for their money and to take it back at any cost.

Apr 26, 2004

The Islamic regime's security forces and their plainclothes agents brutally attacked a peaceful gathering of Esfahan 's medical and pharmacology students yesterday morning.  Clubs and chains were used against tens of students in the Azadi Square of this rebellious city that resulted in serious injuries and arrests of several students.  Access to the square was sealed by security forces before noon and then tens of brutal agents proceeded to attack and beat the students who shouted slogans against the repression of Iranians.

This new attack follows other repressive actions in Esfahan , especially after the crackdown carried out against those protesting the fraud of the Islamic funds of the city.  So far these protests have lead to tens of injuries and at least 50 arrests of those accused by the regime as "hooligans" and "troubled elements."

Demonstrations against the repressive Islamic regime appear to be increasing throughout the entire country.  Collective coordination of resources and support of demonstrators objectives has become apparent within Iran and from elements outside of the country.
