Valin Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 The Daily Star: 10//3/12 TEHRAN: A protest and scuffles with police occurred in central Tehran on Wednesday in the first sign of public unrest over Iran's plunging currency, which has lost more than half of its value since last week. Hundreds of police in anti-riot gear stormed the capital's currency exchange district of Ferdowsi, arresting illegal money changers and ordering licensed exchange bureaux and other shops closed, witnesses told AFP. Several arrests were seen, carried out by uniformed police or plain-clothes security officers. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
