Hundreds of farmers continued demonstrating in the Iranian city of Isfahan in a protest against what they say is government mismanagement of water resources.
Amateur video shared on social media and labeled as shot on April 11 showed crowds in the streets and large numbers of riot police.The police warned the protesters that they could be arrested for chanting antigovernment slogans, but there were no detentions reported.
Much of Iran is suffering from drought, and residents of Isfahan say officials have diverted the province's main river to neighboring Yazd Province, causing their farms to suffer.Protests over the water crisis have been held in Isfahan and other Iranian cities over the past month.The government has promised to pay compensation to the farmers.
