Iran: further

During the demonstrations in the cities of Tabriz and Urmia in Azerbaijan to save Lake Urmia, were more than 70 people arrested on April 2.
Lake Urmia is slowly drying out. Experts say that if necessary precautions are not taken the lake will dry out completely in a couple of years.
The dehydration started in 1999, probably caused by groundwater extraction, and the lack of efficient water management.
The demonstrators brought water in a glass and poured it into the lake and carried banners with slogans like"Lake Urmia is burning of thirst” and “Break down dams and let water flow into the Lake Urmia”.
Some websites published names of the arrested:
Said Khizirlou in Urmia, and Rasoul Razavi, Davoud Shiri, Samad Karimi, Hassan Khoyi, Habib Pourvali, Hussein Abdullahi, Ali Babapour, Hamid Husseini, Jalil Alamdar Milani, Hudjat Mukhtarzade, Ali Salimi, Kazim Vahidi and Said Siyami in Tabriz.
