MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Peaceful pro-government demonstrations started in various part of Iran on Friday in protest against the recent terrorist attack on the Shah Cheragh mausoleum in the city of Shiraz and the violent protests over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, Iranian media reported.

People from all over the country started marching after prayers to condemn the terrorist attack and call protesters to peace, according to the Tasnim news agency.

Mass riots began in Iran in mid-September in connection with the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who passed away while in police custody after being detained for wearing an "improper" hijab. Several members of Iran's security forces were attacked and some were killed in the clashes with protesters. Tehran believes the unrest was planned by foreign powers.

However, according to the Tasnim news agency, only one person attacked the holy shrine. The Iranian state broadcaster reported that there had also been a second terrorist act not far from the mausoleum. As a result of the attack, at least 13 people were killed and another 45 people were injured.
