The Fitilieh programme protests (Persian: جنجال برنامه فیتیله, lit. 'Controversy of Fitilieh programme') started on 9 November 2015 after a segment of the children's television programme Fitileh, aired on 6 November on local state TV, depicted an Azeri speaking Iranian brushing his teeth with a toilet brush.
As a result, hundreds[2] of people participated in demonstrations in Tabriz, Urmia, Ardabil, Zanjan and Tehran.[3] Police in Iran clashed with protesting people and fired tear gas to disperse crowds, with protesters being arrested.[4] One of the protesters, Ali Akbar Morteza, reportedly "died of injuries" in Urmia.[1] There were also protests held in front of Iranian embassies in Istanbul and Baku.[5]
