rferl.org – Hundreds of protesters turned out on the streets of Abadan for the past three nights calling for justice for those responsible for the collapse of the 10-story Metropol building earlier this week.
Security forces fired in the air and used tear gas to disperse protesters in the southwestern city of Abadan, the capital of the southwestern Iranian province of Khuzestan, where the collapse of a high-rise building earlier this week killed 28 people, local media reported on May 28.
The collapse of a large section of the 10-story Metropol building, which was under construction, was one of Iran’s deadliest disasters in years.
Protesters gathered on May 27 for the third consecutive night in Abadan and other cities of the province, which borders Iraq, local media reported.
Security forces in Abadan “used tear gas and shot in the air near the collapse site” to disperse hundreds of protesters who were mourning the lives lost and demanding justice for the perpetrators of the incident, Fars news agency said.
Protesters chanted “Death to incompetent officials” and “Incompetent officials must be executed,” Fars reported.
