Racist riots broke out in Iranian city of Meybod in Yazd province

The media and social networks have been pushing for demonizing afghan refugees in Iran and blaming them for the failure of IRI and corrupoin the country making life unbearable for most Iranians.

Even groups inside IRI regime are trying to use the Afghans as a tool to hide their criminal past and they have been pushing for deportation of ALL Afghans living in Iran. Many who lived in the country all their lives or have an Iranian father or mother.

Last week a young Iranian was killed allegedly by an afghan citizen which led to anger and waves of criminal attacks against afghan population of the city that people blame for hars economical conditions in the city.

Discrimination and racist attacks reached a new level after the death of Amir-Reza Aghaei that led to widespread riots and attacks against Afghans in their homes and on various parts of town

Police and IRGC riot police have been sent to try to calm the public down and using the event as a chance to capture and finally deport any refugees who fell victim of those attacks and blaming them for the riots.

Anger and riots in Dublin after the Terrorist attacks by a mane media saying is from Algeria.

This outrageous blind and disgusting attack against civilians ia so upsetting that I can't even write how upset it makes me.

No matter what was the reason behind this madness, the losers of it are the solidarity movement of Palestinians and those pushing for ceasefire and an end to the Israeli assault on Gaza.

These 5 people were sentenced to death by #IRI regime for participating in murder of a #Basij militia in the city of #Karaj west of #Tehran

11 others were sentenced to prison of up to 25 years.

This is the second case of death penalty sentence against those who were identified as directly responsible for death of #police and basij members during the #riots in different cities in #Iran.

It is sad and unfortunate that the opposition leaders in Europe and US who pushed for such actions from early days of peaceful protests, are now using them as def-facfo martyrs.

Without access to lawyers or independent observers, these young men have little to no chance to fight the death sentence in higher courts. There is a big risk that the regime will end up executing some if not all of them.

#Basij headquarter in southern city of #BandarAbbas was set on fire by protesters.

The militant attacks against IRGC and Basij is much stronger and violent in border towns and in Baluchistan and Kurdistan. This incident in Banfar Abbas is a new trend that shows the protesters are getting bolder and stronger.

I fear for regime's reaction to these protests and if they remove the gloves and stop using non lethal weapons against protesters and use live ammo like they did during the election riots after election of AhmadiNejad.

Riots and Political Theory: A Reading List

[R]iots are a phenomenon that political theorists need to take more seriously.... [I offer] what I have learned over my years of researching this topic in the hopes that it will help us all think differently about what a riot is, why and when it might be legitimate or illegitimate, in the hopes that thinking differently about the phenomenon of rioting may help us respond to riots and the grievances they express in different ways. To that end I’ve assembled a preliminary annotated reading list on riots...

Just the thing for those who prefer their riots academically rigorous.
