While most Iranians are mourning murdered civilians, protesters in different parts of the county shouted slogans denouncing Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday and Saturday.

Meanwhile, a human rights group said at least 100 detained protesters were still facing possible death sentences, reported Reuters.

Demonstrations have been going on against the Islamic regime since mid-September after the death in detention of a 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman arrested for wearing "inappropriate attire" under Iran's strict Islamic dress code for women.

"Death to the dictator, death to Khamenei!" protesters chanted in reference to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a social media video said to be from Zahedan, capital of Sistan-Baluchistan province.

In the Kurdish city of Javanrood, hundreds peacefully gathered on Saturday to honor seven protesters who were killed 40 days before by security forces. However, the military forces attacked the crowd, wounding dozens and killing at least one protester, Borhan Elyasi, using live bullets.
