...police put out the flame once again, she informed them "There was an Iranian woman on one of those planes" and replaced her candle with a rose plucked from a nearby bush. An hour later, after plainclothes police infiltrated the crowd and attacked loiterers with batons, police in partial riot gear patrolled the square.
