'It is fairly quiet on the street in Tehran'

teheran - On the street it is fairly quiet in the Iranian capital Tehran. The government's riot police are ready to suppress possible demonstrations in almost all major squares. Prison is still being fought only for prisons. This says an inhabitant of the Iranian capital anonymously against the ANP.

Authorities there speak of about a thousand arrests since the protests started December 28. The hundreds of detainees in Tehran are mostly students. 'Every morning, the relatives of detainees stand in front of the Evin prison and demand their release. 'Other demonstrators also stand in front of the prisons.

Student associations from 22 universities have joined forces and asked the Ministry of Science to dedicate themselves to the release of the students.

'If the government does not listen and students and normal people do not release, God knows what will happen next,' the Iranian said. According to her, the protests will probably continue and students will stop. ' The families always remain in prison for as long as is necessary. ''

Furthermore, the government has banned the most used social media from Iran (Telegram and Instagram) and denied people access to almost all virtual private networks. 'The internet is so slow that you can barely keep up to date with what is going on, you can hardly achieve anything via mobile data. ''
