Who's the person remembered by the statue?
@silentfactor We will ask for it.

@interventionistischelinke
Thank you.
Just a superficial impression: unlike in countries like Turkey, Syria, Tunisia,... where statues of the rulers (Assad, Ata Turk, Ben Ali,...) are rife statues of figures in Iran (pre dating the current regime) are often of poets.

Putting fire to a status is symbolic. There are locations that are more than symbolic if one must resort to such actions.

@silentfactor That's true, we see a series of symbolic attacks on images and statues of Khomeini, Khamenei or Soleimani. We also see attacks on the offices and cars of the Revolutionary Guards and the police. The decisive factor will be whether the uprising is able to organize itself better

@interventionistischelinke
The Persian part of the population, in particular in Tehran, is till now nearly kept out of mobilisation in other regions byway of policies.

This policy to divide is essential for the regime's survival. It's repressive-tollerant: in Tehran there is neither the protest and neither much effort to impose the State mandated dress code. It's pretty relaxed overthere. Not so in the Kurdish region, Balochistan, ... Persians are the biggest minority group. If they move...

@silentfactor Question: Isn't it the case that there are increasing fraternizations between Persians and other ethnic groups? Also in Tehran?
@interventionistischelinke
Yes, heard today about a Kurd who had travelled to the Balouchistan region where he joined (or to join) the protest. The people where exalted and carried the man around up above the crowd chanting the unity between Kurds and Balouchis. Next dilatations in both directions?
