BBC: Iran plane downing: Second day of protests turns up heat on leaders
Iran's leaders have faced a second day of protests following their admission the military shot down a Ukrainian passenger plane, killing all 176 people on board, many of them Iranians.
Protesters in Tehran and in several other cities chanted slogans against the leadership.
Clashes with security forces and the firing of tear gas are reported.

If I were the ayatollahs, I would be scared. The Ayatollahs have murdered 1,500 of the protesters and they are not giving up.
When the ayatollahs are toppled, please to God do not let them be tried in The Worthless Hague. Let them be tried by the Iranian people.
"please to God"?
