Boustan street

Boustan Street is a street in Tehran, Iran which connects to Pasdaran avenue. It is adjacent to the Saudi embassy and some lower-key diplomatic missions. Other residentiaries include the Rassam Arab-zadeh Carpet (فرش) Museum and Museum of Contemporary ArtJcrafts.[1][2] In January 2016 some Iranians who protested the execution of Nimr al-Nimr erected street signs bearning the name "Nimr street" in an effort to encapsulate that name change.[3] Within days Iran Daily reported approval by the Tehran Islamic City Council to rename the street Nimr Baqir al-Nimr street from the previous name Boustan street.[4] Its function includes providing diplomatic services to variegated citizens from forenoon to the afternoon.[5] Other inhabitants include the embassy of Switzerland,[6]and a urology research center.[7]
