Iran: Mass protests over surge in price of food and basic goods—May 12, 2022
Protests sparked by skyrocketing prices of food staples across Iran expanded to several different cities and provinces on Thursday evening, as protesters elevated their movement into anti-regime slogans specifically targeting senior regime officials.
Following the regime’s recent decision to halt a subsidy on a vital import that is resulting in the rising price of bread and other food staples, protesters have been taking to the streets mainly in oil-rich province of Khuzestan in southwest Iran. On Thursday, however, the rallies and protests began to spread into neighboring Lorestan province to the north, and Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari and Kohgiluyeh & Boyer-Ahmad provinces to the east.
Cities where protests took place include:
Dorud
Andimeshk
Izeh
Shahrekord
Junqan
Protesters chanted slogans against regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei and Iranian regime president Ebrahim Raisi.
Security forces attacked and opened fire on protesters in several locations. Several people were injured and at least one person has been reported killed.
