Несмотря на то, что чиновники заявляют, что контролируют ситуацию и аэропорт свободен, очевидцы сообщают совсем другое: протестующих вывели из здания аэровокзала и со взлетно-посадочной полосы.

Scores of mourners attended the burial of Iranian teenager Armita Garavand on October 29 in Tehran. The 17-year-old was fatally injured earlier this month after an alleged confrontation with Iran's morality police. Amateur video obtained by RFE/RL shows raw emotions on display at the Behesht-e Zahra cemetery and at a separate funeral ceremony in the Jaberi mosque. A heavy police presence was observed at both places.
More than 20 people were injured -- two critically -- when a mob of hundreds of people shouting anti-Jewish epithets stormed and shut down the airport in the Russian city of Makhachkala in the predominantly Muslim region of Daghestan after a flight arrived from Israel on October 29.

Late on October 29, videos and photos from the scene published by RFE/RL’s @kavkazrealii indicated that protesters had stormed onto the Makhachkala runway, attempting to gain entry to the incoming plane.
