I Participated in the Demonstration Today from 6 PM

I participated in the demonstration today from 6 PM until 8 PM. Initially, people were just walking around and looking at each other. The only thing that caught attention was the anti-aircraft guns that were positioned on the roof of Tehran University. People had gathered and pointed at the anti-aircraft guns, asking if students had airplanes. At 8 PM, people gradually began to start chanting. An unusual atmosphere had taken over the street. The riot police were cutting through the crowd and 'gently' hitting people with batons. At the end of the street, the police were dispersing people, but they kept returning and resuming their chants. During one of these chases, the riot police were cutting through the crowd and hitting people with batons. I also received a few hits. People were fleeing into the alleys. While fleeing, I saw a girl lying on the ground being beaten by four riot police officers. I just watched that scene, no longer fleeing, while tears streamed down my face as I looked at that girl screaming under the baton of the Islamic Republic's oppression. It was the most heartbreaking scene of my life. When I saw myself running away, I felt ashamed; why should we be afraid of death? I went towards the intersection where people were clapping and asking for help from those waiting for buses at the terminal. About 200 people came to this side of the street, and the crowd cheered them on as they moved towards Sharif University. The riot police were confused on Enghelab Street, pulling the people this way and that. A Basij brother in a Peugeot 206 was trying to pass through the crowd, but people stood in front of the car and hit it. In just 10 seconds, the doors of the car were smashed in. I, feeling very emotional, punched that loyal Basij member. When they fled, a 22-year-old young man threw a series of leaflets into the air, about 500 of them. The people grabbed the leaflets in the air, which contained slogans, and they began chanting those slogans. I, unable to sleep last night due to the excitement, had been chatting on Yahoo and invited all my friends to a conference to discuss and exchange views on July 18. I also promoted July 18 in other chat rooms. Because of this, I was a bit tired and couldn't do anything productive. By 10 PM, I was at Enghelab Square on my way back home. Enghelab Square was very crowded, and the riot police were attacking the people. A guard requested reinforcements, saying there was a possibility of clashes. Inside the square, Basij brothers were praying, and their leader said, according to the Supreme Leader's orders, no one has the right to attack the people; just promote good and prevent evil and help the law enforcement brothers. They were dressed in black, numbering about 200, which was fewer than last year, perhaps due to the mess they had made in Khordad. On the other side of the square, a female Basij member was dragging a woman towards the square, but people gathered and prevented her from getting into the car.
