The new condition of the passage is shocking. Climbing up the wall and crossing on the edge through a very narrow passage, about 2m high. Ahmad, a transit driver, was standing on top and assisting people. He said he had been doing for a few hours. He also told us about people falling off. One old man broke his hip and was hospitalized. The BPs were, as usual, at the circle next to the gas station, stopping cars and transits. A group of 5 women and one men were let go when we arrived. Nobody else was detained while we were there. We noticed a group of a dozen people standing across from the gas station. They were municipality officials reviewing the roadwork that had been done there. They are powerless about the situation.

We can't promise to stop the violence.

We can promise to keep showing up.
