Mourners in the Iranian capital attended the funeral of around 100 martyrs, including military forces and ordinary citizens, who have been killed by armed rioters during the recent violent unrest.

Violent rioters favoring monarchy have vandalized public and private properties in a number of cities across Iran in the past recent days, killing dozens of ordinary people and security forces and inflicting injuries on others.
