An Iranian fan, wearing a shirt in support of anti-regime protests, has been attacked by a group of Iranians outside a Football World Cup stadium.
The incident was caught on camera, showing a group of Iranians who support the Islamic Republic moving in on the man, as security officers try to break up the fight.
Protests against the state restrictions on women's freedom erupted in September, after the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman. She died under "suspicious circumstances" three days after she was arrested by Iran's morality police in Tehran for violating the Islamic Republic's strict dress code.
According to activisits, hundreds of people, mostly protesters, have been killed in one of the most serious waves of unrest to sweep the country, since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The football fan was wearing a shirt with the phrase 'Women, Life, Freedom', which is one of the main chants of the protests.
In a video posted on Twitter by BBC journalist Shayan Sardarizadeh, the man appears to be taking a selfie, before he is interrupted by a group of men. Security rush over, after the man is pushed by one of the group members.
Yelling and shoving break out, as the fan is backed against a fence, before the video cuts off.
The incident occurred after Iran lost their World Cup match against the US, and comes amid reports Iranian football fans are being denied entrance into the stadium wearing T-shirts and carrying flags with messages of support for the anti-regime protesters.
Some fans have been sneaking T-shirts supporting the movement past security, which is classified as prohibited, into the stadium
The FIFA World Cup's list of prohibited items bans any materials that are of a "political, offensive and/or discriminatory nature containing wording, symbols or any other attributes aimed at discrimination of any kind".
Before their opening match against England, Iran's World Cup team refrained from singing the national anthem, as a sign of support for the demonstrations back home.
