Students of the Free University Protest in Kashan

Victims on financial scam protest in front of Hassan Rouhani's Office
Victims of a major financial scam by the Padideh Shandiz institute lodged a protest in front of the office of the regime's President Hassan Rouhani situated in Pastour Street in Tehran. The protesters demanded their stolen money to be returned.
The Padideh Shandiz institute is one of the dozens of financial firms founded in different cities by senior Iranian regime officials in order to plunder the Iranian people's very little savings and assets.
Padideh Shandiz, which has close links to the regime's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, has billed itself as an international tourism development company active in restaurants, tourism and construction and lured investors by promising huge returns on their shares in projects in Shandiz, a suburb of the city of Mashhad, and in the island resort of Kish. Its advertising campaign on state television was taken as reassurance that the regime backed the company.
In January 2015, a huge "fraud" worth $34.3 billion came to light in the company which is believed to have manipulated its shares. Many people who had invested in the company went bankrupt soon after.
Padideh Shandiz is reported to have had a third share in Iranian airports advertisements, as well as paying 5.1% of the state-broadcaster IRIB's income from advertisements.
