Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reports that police lobbed canisters of tear gas and fired in the air to disperse people gathered near the site of a collapsed 10-story building that left 28 people dead.
The details in the videos corresponded with each other and to known features of Abadan, some 660 kilometers southwest of the capital, Tehran. Foreign-based Farsi-language television channels described tear gas and other shots being fired.
In other cities people gathered peacefully to mourn, Fars and human rights activists reported. However, angry crowds have been gathering in Abadan since Iran on Thursday held a 100,000-person rally to mark the release of a new state-backed pop song called “Hello Commander.”Authorities acknowledge the building’s owner and corrupt government officials allowed construction to continue at the Metropol Building despite concerns over its shoddy workmanship. The building collapsed on Monday.
