Thanks to m0122 for the translation.Iran's President Mahmood Ahmadinejad visited Uroomye in a single day. Around 2 PM while accompanied by a convoy, Ahmadinejad started his way from Uroomye airport to Takhti stadium. There were various circumstances surrounding Ahmadinejad's visit, but the most shocking was the throwing of a shoe and other objects towards him which hit his escort's vehicles and the outrageous behavior of Ahmadinejad's escorts. While on their way to Takhti Stadium an old man who had entered Motahari street to hand Ahmadinejad a letter had an accident with one of the escort's vehicles, but the old man was ignored by Ahmadinejad's personnel as they continued on their way. People from the sidewalks poured in the street and halted the vehicles. When the ambulance accompanying the the presidential convoy refused to help the injured man there was a small clash between the onlookers and Ahmadinejad's guards who were in civilian clothing. In the end after much protest and Booing from the people the Ambulance was forced to take the injured man to a hospital. When the convoy was going through Velayate Faghih St. [ Guardianship of the Islamic Jurists St. ] and ahmadinejad was waving to people from a convertible, In a strange move that shocked everyone a shoe was thrown at him. The guards rushed towards where the shoe was thrown from but failed to make any arrests. A few minutes later another person threw a black hat towards Ahmadinejad. Everyone present witnessed these two incident which cause the presidential vehicle to speed away from there.
A point concerning this presidential visit was the numerous letters that were collected from people via the many stations placed in the way. The amount of letters from concerned citizens was enough the in one of the stations they had to be transported using a small truck. This only shows the dire situation of the region.
