Karaj

In Tehran, residents reported explosions around the capital and the nearby city of Karaj.

But Vladimir Karaj, a Tirana-based journalist with the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, said it was a “complete surprise” when it was announced by the Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The deal, Mr Karaj said, has been met only with short-lived protests by some claiming it was aimed at replacing Albanians with foreigners, or giving away territory to Italy.

Mehrjui and Mohammadifar were stabbed to death in their home in Karaj, near the capital Tehran, in October.

The setting is a classroom in Karaj, Iran, in 2008.
