Chapter 2: What protests occurred in Minneapolis and why?
Thousands of people marched in downtown Minneapolis Saturday to protest the shooting death last Wednesday of Renee Good at the hands of an ICE agent. One participant said everyone is now living in fear. On Friday night, about 1,000 people demonstrated outside a Minneapolis hotel. While much of the protest was peaceful, some people threw rocks and ice at police.
Mayor Jacob Frey says that's got to stop.
To the few that have caused damage to property and or harm to others, need to be very clear, we're not going to let that happen. If you cause damage to property or put others in dangers, you're going to be arrested. And again, the vast majority of people have done this right. We are so deeply appreciative of them. But we have seen a few incidents last night.
Those incidents are being reviewed. Hundreds of protests, meanwhile, are expected this weekend in cities across the country. Authorities in Iran say they intend to continue their crackdown on large-scale anti-government protests. As Willem Marx reports, the country's Revolutionary Guard is blaming the unrest on terrorists.
The current set of demonstrations that have lasted two weeks are the biggest in years, and the Iranian authorities have promised to safeguard their existing system of government. Meanwhile, President Trump has posted on social media that the U.S. stands, quote, ready to help with Iran, quote, looking at freedom perhaps like never before.
Restrictions on Internet access limit information from inside Iran. But as night fell Saturday, recently posted videos seem to show fresh protests in parts of the capital city, Tehran, and several other cities across the country.
Reza Pahlavi, son of the last shah of Iran who was deposed in 1979, issued one of his frequent messages, urging protesters to expand their efforts so as to topple the country's theocratic leadership. For NPR News, I'm Willem Marks.
