Iran: Back to Tabriz · Global Voices
Fred Petrossian

Razeno reports about his conservations with people in Tabriz about the cartoon affair. The blogger says all people whom he talked, considered the cartoon just a pretext to revolt. They said they do not want to be separated from Iran and they want to be respected like other places such as Meshad, Isfahan and Rafsanjan (Persian). The blogger adds during the riots Farsi speaking population stayed at home and there were rumours that Lebanese Hezbollah have been sent by government to repress the demonstration.
