On Tuesday and Wednesday morning tens of Afghans had protested and chanted against the Taliban and Pakistan outside the Pakistani embassy in Tehran and its consulate in Mashhad for the alleged military support of Pakistan for the Taliban in Panjshir where resistance against them continues. There was a heavy police presence but no arrests were made.
