Potemkin protest?

"Tehranis stage anti-Zionist rallies," from [2] IRNA (thanks to Sr. Soph):

Tehrani citizens on Friday staged rallies towards Tehran's Palestine Square and from there to Tehran University in protest at Zionists and the world arrogant powers.

In the rallies were staged on the departure anniversary of the Holy Prophet of Islam Hazrat Mohammad (SAWA) and his grandson Hazrat Hassan ibn Ali (AS) with an aim to condemn recent Zionist crimes in Palestinian occupied territory, especially Gaza, and the Dutch and Danish press insult to Islamic sanctities.

The ralliers, chanting anti-US and anti-Israel slogans in the ceremony in Palestine Square of Tehran, then moved towards Tehran University where Friday prayers, led by Substitute Friday prayers leader of Tehran Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, is scheduled to be held.
