BBC Persian reports that some physicians of the capital’s Medical Association gathered in front of medical buildings to support the demonstrating young people. This gathering of doctors was attacked by government security forces, causing some of the capital’s high medical officials to resign in protest.

It is not easy to get protests going for 40 days around a big country like Iran, but the young people have done it this fall, and have attracted some support from workers, bazaar merchants, and now physicians.
