Yah - at least reuters is saying 3,000 which means it was at LEAST 10 X that. Anyhow - this is just the beginning. I'm sure if Dr. Yazdi is so confident it must be in parallel with US Government plan to for overthrow of Mullah's regime with the Iranian people!!!!

I think they've been going on --- but the MSM here doesn't seem to want to report on them --- for example this one --- did it ever make it into the news here? Yet I think this kind of thing would be important --- it was over a year ago.

Iranians chant 'Death to Khamenei'

Religious militants on motorcycles chased down reformists and beat them with clubs early Friday, the third night of anti-clergy demonstrations in Tehran. Witnesses also reported seeing mullahs pulling young women out of cars and beating them with sticks.

In recent years, the Qom clerics have become convenient targets of public anger with the establishment, many of the clerics say. One appeared for an interview without his clerical robe and turban, explaining that the few taxi drivers who would pick him up in his clerical garb would do so only to rant at him about politics.
