A number of commentators also pointed to the difficulty of gathering crowds to watch and photograph such incidents, and the ensuing “traffic disruption that resulted in a congestion of vehicles and a delay in escaping from car flames.”
One activist emphasized the importance of “rescuing the victims, taking into account the risk assessment, without blocking the roads and allowing the competent authorities to get to the place.”
The same commentator pointed out that “photography and documentation of the events are controlled so that they do not interfere with traffic”, describing the gathering as “an uncivilized scene that causes traffic congestion and can delay paramedics, which affects the lives of those affected.”
In this context, one of the activists said: “The assembly must be fought with the power of the regime.”
