Unrest in Esfahan

Apr 3, 2004
Windows of several banks and public buildings were smashed in Esfahan during a protest demo which took place, today, in the Jey Avenue.
Hundreds of residents defied the security forces and set tires ablaze in order to show their anger of the local Islamic funds' empty promises on the restitution of millions of Tomans (Iranian currency) of their deposited assets.
The rumor of the bankruptcy of the local Islamic funds has resulted on massive withdraws and is leading toward its collapse.
The situation is very tense and protesters have promised to come back for their money and to take it back at any cost.
