NCRI conference reveals new info on protests in\nIran<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 22, the National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a> (NCRI) held an online press conference on the ongoing protests in Iran<\/a>, which were triggered after the Iranian regime implemented a sudden increase on the prices of gasoline. The protests have spread to more than 160 cities. The regime\u2019s security forces have murdered more than 250 protesters so far and has imposed a near-total blackout on internet communications. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
