Checkpoints seen at roads leading into the city.
Murdered protesters are scheduled to be buried Tuesday. People say siege must be broken to hold a massive ceremony.

Locals say messages are seen in social media claiming #Kazerun is calm. This is all a lie, they say.
Anti-riot units are on shifts, resting in an IRGC-owned orchard outside of the city. Videos claiming the city is empty of security units are lies.

Locals ask why are internet & phone lines down? Because they have much to report to the outside world. #Iran’s authorities are terrified of the word getting out. As long as internet & mobile phones are down, Kazerun remains under siege.

Add this to the long list linking #Iran's regime with international terrorism.

This time, the al Qaeda-affiliated al Shabaab militant group of Somalia.

More reason why a firm policy is needed against Tehran.

"Criminal networks are using Iran as a transit point for illicit Somali charcoal exports that earn Islamist militants al Shabaab millions of dollars annually in tax, U.N. sanctions monitors said in a report seen by Reuters."

"... domestic revenue generation by al Qaeda-affiliated al Shabaab 'is more geographically diversified and systematic' than that of Somalia’s federal government."
