Protests in Isfahan, Iran, over water shortages turned violent on Nov. 27 as riot police cracked down on demonstrations and arrested 67 people while dozens were injured, according to local reports.
Thousands of demonstrators have set up tents to protest near the dried-up bed of the Zayandeh Rood River—the largest river in the drought-stricken region—since Nov. 9 in support of farmers who are angry over water shortages.
