And thousands in thailand joining us socalled run against dictatorship the protest through bangkok cox demanding more democracy in the country and opposing the militarys influence in the government. Thanks for joining us angry protests have erupted into iran in iran after the government had me said that its forces shot down accidentally a ukrainian passenger jet killing 176 people in tehran thousands of demonstrators many of them students slammed the government for initially denying it was behind the disaster protesters say changes are needed to address peoples grief and. Frustration. Dont with the lawyers come in he must step down the cry of angry students in front of the american Beer University and to run strong criticism of irans Supreme Leader. The revolutionary guards are deployed. Leave us alone at last the crowd chants. But the guards dont comply. Tear gas is used to disperse the protesters. Earlier irans military commander in chief and try to quell ill feeling the tragedy had left him inconsolable home and he said. But for some a rainy ins the headlines said his whole seamus said one. Unforgivable read another alongside a list of the dead. Back to find the denial and cover up over the past 3 days greatly added to the familys pain and suffering and to mind money and u. S. President donald trump tweeted in english and farsi a call for transparency seeing the world is watching those protests continue in cities across iran all eyes will be on the regimes reaction. Well your i spoke to dr julie norman from the department of Political Science at University College london and i asked her how significant was it that the protest as a voicing such open anger against irans Supreme Leader. This is extremely significant and such a change from what we saw just a few days ago during the funerals for asylum in so many such outpouring of unity just 2 days ago completely a change now showing real anger towards the regime not only for the tragedy but more the fact that people feel lied to by the regime for keeping that information for 3 days so out where the coming back out into the streets calling specifically for for the Supreme Leader to step down is really a major shift for iran and especially at this particular moment what do you think the around regime will or is going to have to do to quell these protests. Yes this is a big question of course in the short term we can expect that the regime will be trying to make some kind of gestures of restitution for the losses from the crash of some sort of restitution to families im repatriation etc but again this is couched in something bigger and these protests are not just coming out of the blue to this again theyre building on protests and sentiments that were in tears started to run for 2 months ago in which there was a very violent crackdown on protesters then that was in response to the economic condition and the political culture more broadly so well see the regime try and do what they can to make amends for and for the tragedy of the plane crash but again theres something bigger that people are protesting about as well you did mention these protests at the end of last year you mentioned this brutal crackdown can we expect something similar again old norse using. Oh and that is such a question right now again in november the crackdown was very swift and quite intense at least 300 confirmed deaths but probably many more than that many people disappeared and detained as well and a complete internet blackout and shut down as well which made it very hard to follow what weve seen so far in the current protests a very different kind of dynamic again as your clip showed still the use of tear gas still the use of beatings arrest and detention the died while still hurston worthy of criticism is is still later than we saw back in november and probably because again there is so much focus on iran right now because the tensions and its it should situation internally is at such a different place the regime knows that people are going to be watching it very differently is good to talk to you talk to julie norman from the department of Political Science at University College london thank you very much for your time.
