Wednesday was the most intense day of demos, reaching rural towns and major cities in every province, though still localised enough for daily life to continue in Tehran.
So far, violence around the demonstrations has killed at least 38 people while more than 2,200 others have been detained, said the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency.
