Pan Armenian News is reporting a slaughter of protesters in Tehran:

The elemental rally of South Azerbaijanis next to the Iranian Parliament building on May 28 was suppressed with special cruelty. Iranian authorities used (Yegani Bizhe) the Special Punitive Guard, which opened fire to suppress manifestations of Azerbaijanis, says a statement of the Committee for Protection of Rights of South Azerbaijan. The message says that during mass protest in Iran 50 Azeris were killed, 600 were wounded, over 1000 are arrested.

Iranian authorities used force against peaceful rally participants in Tabriz, Teheran, Urmia, Parsabad, Meshkina, Sulduz. The rally of Azeris scheduled in Tabriz May 28 was drowned in blood. In spite of all this, this wave of national awakening of Azerbaijanis will be included in the history of Azerbaijan, says the statement, reports Day.az.
The Iranian Turkmens Society issued a statement today is support of the Azeris protesters in Iran....

The story does not mention the Kurds who are still seeking independence.
