From coffee shops of Iranshahr to the tins of Khawaran; Life in a city that is getting tighter and tighter.
🔸 Walking on "sidewalks", sitting in cafes or youth gatherings in some of Tehran's neighborhoods has recently faced more and more interference from the police and the judicial system.
🔸 The police call the presence of young people on the streets of the city center "accidentally and without purpose" and the judicial system reports handling what it calls "promotion of nudity and lawlessness". On Iranshahr Street, people were arrested on the charge of "openly promoting indecent and obscene".

🔸 Radio Farda talked to several citizens of Tehran about their daily life, recreation, commuting to work and the changes they have experienced in the past year.
