How did the protests start?

The demonstrations began in the north-eastern city of Mashhad - the country's second most-populous - on Thursday.

People there took to the streets to express anger at the government over high prices, and vented their fury against President Hassan Rouhani. Fifty-two people were arrested for chanting "harsh slogans".

The protests spread to other cities in the north-east, and and some developed into broader anti-government demonstrations, calling for the release of political prisoners and an end to police beatings.


Maybe if liberals would shut up about Trump for a minute we would focus on real issues like this

Yeah, but they're who they are because they don't care about real issues. They'd rather complain about how a wheelchair ramp is offensive because it implies crippled people can't crawl up a staircase, or something equally dumb...

It's less "real issues" and more "other people's issues." Most people tend to care more about issues that affect them.
