Iranian security forces have opened fire on crowds near Tehran marking the 40th day of mourning for a woman shot dead while protesting, witnesses say.
Videos showed thousands walking along roads to reach the grave in Karaj of Hadis Najafi, who has become a symbol of the anti-government unrest in Iran.
State-run media say “rioters” killed a militiaman and injured 10 police.
But witnesses told the BBC that security forces attacked protesters with shotguns, tear gas and machetes.
