Iran, Aug. 30, 2017 - Hundreds of Sanandaj residents, west of Iran, rallied on Tuesday, August 29th to protest and show their anger at the actions of municipal agents in their city after they flamed a half constructed building while an employee was still working in it. The gathering and protest took place in front of the governor's office in Sanandaj.
Mosleh Hosseini, 23, was a construction worker and was working inside the building when agents of the municipality arrived and flamed the building to stop the completion of the construction of the building. Mosleh was transferred to the hospital but died later of his wounds.
The protesters carried his coffin in the streets calling for the trial and prosecution of perpetrators of this barbaric act. They also said that they would continue their demonstration on Wednesday, August 30 in front of the City Hall.
Mosleh's burial ceremony took place on Tuesday morning with a large number of people attending that.
Another worker was also injured during the burning of the building and is still in hospital.

The 1983 double bombing in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, left 241 American service members, 58 French military personnel and six civilians killed, alongside hundreds of others injured. 21 years later in 2004 Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) unveiled a “monument” in “honor” of that terrorist attack. This “memorial” column, installed in a section dubbed “Martyrs of the Islamic World” in Tehran’s Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery, carried a very vivid message: Iran’s  IRGC  was behind the 1983 blast targeting the peacekeeping force in Beirut. 34 years have passed since that attack and today the IRGC has been designated a terrorist organization by the US Treasury Department. Such a measure deserves praise, yet is long overdue. On October 23 of that year a suicide bomber drove a w
