TEHRAN: Several people attacked and damaged a provincial governor’s office in southern Iran on Wednesday, according to authorities quoted by the justice ministry’s Mizan agency, after days of protests over the economy.
“A portion of the provincial governors’ office door and its glass were destroyed in an attack by a number of people,” said Hamed Ostovar, the head of Fasa city’s judiciary, as quoted by Mizan, without specifying how the attack was carried out.
Fasa is located 780 kilometers south of the capital Tehran, where a spontaneous movement against the high cost of living broke out on Sunday among shopkeepers before spreading to some universities.
