An Iranian researcher and opposition figure stressed that protesters similar to what took place in several Iranian cities starting November 15, may occur in the form of an "uprising", for economic and political reasons.
In an interview with Saudi Al-Arabiya, Abbas Khorsandi, secretary of the Iranian National Democratic Front, said that Iranian protesters have been killed in the streets and in prisons since the protests in 2017, and others were also killed during protests in the country last month.
Khorsandi said there are many reasons for these protests, including the demands for a better life and a quest for freedom, adding that these demands may contribute to turning these protests in the future into a true revolution against the regime in Iran.
