Protests for Chahar Shanbe Soori

Chahar Shanbe Soori is an ancient Persian holiday that occurs before the start of Spring which marks the beginning of a new year in Iran. The holiday involves lighting fires and jumping over them in order to get ready for the new year. People were told not to come out onto the streets to protest, but they did anyways lighting fires and chanting against the regime. Here are some videos from today.
