As the previous year, the gathering of 8th of March was finished by the attack of Anti-Revolutionary police to the people and large scale beating. They've also beated an journalist and forced other journalists to erase their photos and films.

Eye witnesses write "At the 14:00 we were going to demonstrate and we were around 300 people. Anti Revolutionary Guard attacked us and violently beat us. There were also a lot of "women polices".

Some reports say 6 women and 1 man are arrested and others claim that they are released after some hours. I think they should be released fast.

The bad for me is that I've returned back from Afghanistan / Kabul to Tehran yesterday night. In the Kabul everything was ok at 8th of March. Governmental placards was celebrating it. Ads in the TV promotes women's rights but it was difficult to see a woman in the street. In the other hand in Iran women are around 70% of university students and very active in social life but government beats them and arrest them just because they are asking for their rights; their rights as humans.
