Police arrested dozens of protesters and used tear gas to disperse hundreds more from a Tehran park, witnesses said.
The official Islamic Republic News Agency said there were only 300 protesters, mostly young people demanding freedom of expression on the eve of the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Witnesses put the number at about 1,000 and described the protesters as monarchists--Iranians who want the son of the late Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in power.
