June 8th 2022 - Daily protests have been taking place over the last 2 weeks in the city of Abadan, Khuzestan province, and across Iran, after the ten-story Metropole building collapsed due to the regime officials’ plundering and corruption. This resulted in at least 36 killed and dozens injured due to the regime’s inaction in saving the lives of the people under the rubble. The State Security Forces (SSF) and the Special Units sought to prevent people from gathering by opening fire at them and firing tear gas, but the rebellious youth repelled them and continued their protests. 
In the Naziabad district in Tehran, the youth took to the streets in solidarity with the Abadan uprising, chanting, “Down with Khamenei.” At the same time, spectators in Azadi Soccer Stadium in Tehran shouted "Abadan! Abadan!" showing solidarity with Abadan’s uprising. Terrified of the spread of the uprising, the clerical regime deployed its repressive forces in the cities of Khuzestan Province, arrested hundreds of youths, and cut off or slowed down the Internet in Abadan, Ahvaz, Khorramshahr and other cities in the province.
Demonstrations, gatherings, and morning ceremonies continued in different cities. The youths of Kermanshah demonstrated in support of the people of Abadan in the streets and chanted, “Condolences to Abadan.” In Fasa and Kazerun, people held solidarity ceremonies. In Bushehr, young people took to the streets, chanting, “Down with the dictator,” “Condolences to Abadan,” and “Our enemy is right here. They lie saying it’s America.” In some streets, they blocked the roads by burning tires. In a large demonstration in the streets of Shadegan, the youths expressed their solidarity with the people of Abadan. protests were also held in Izeh to support Abadan, and the protesters blocked some roads as well.
