"A few managed to climb through broken windows into the building," Hoglund said. He said one member of the embassy staff was injured inside the building, but didn't know how seriously. Fifty police officers and an ambulance were dispatched to the scene. Hoglund said police had evicted the demonstrators from the building and arrested one person. Organizers of the demonstration said a few of the protesters were injured in clashes with the embassy's security officers. "We want a regime change," said Firouzeh Ghaffrpour, one of the organizers.
