Outrage after lawmaker slaps and intimidates traffic officer
A physical altercation between a conservative legislator and a traffic police officer on a busy street in central Tehran has sparked outrage among Iranians who widely believe that politicians are acting with impunity.
On Sunday, a video went viral on Iranian social media in which Abed Akbari, a young policeman serving his compulsory military service as a traffic officer, explained that he stopped a car that wanted to illegally enter the public transport bus-only lane, but the driver and passenger insulted and slapped him.
In the video, a car with tinted windows is seen blocking the bus lane and causing heavy traffic. Other drivers at the scene say they had witnessed the lawmaker in the backseat of the car slapping the traffic officer.
