Protests in Iran
Story aired: Friday, June 13, 2003



80,000 Iranians are packed into a soccer stadium in Tehran at this hour. It's expected that when the game is over, another protest will break out.

Yesterday hundreds of Iranian students and their supporters poured into the streets of Tehran in the third night of demonstrations against the hard- line fundamentalist Ayatollah Ali Khamanei.

The protests have led to clashes with paramilitary thugs and fears that Iran's fragile reform movement might suffer a setback.
