AN OVERVIEW OF THE REVOLUTION IN IRAN
The protests in Iran we are seeing today erupted in mid-September after the death of Mahsa Amini, while she was in the custody of the “morality police” for allegedly violating the country’s hijab law. Mahsa Amnini was a 22-year-old woman from the western city of Saqqez in Iran’s Kurdistan province. She was visiting Tehran with family when “morality police” arrested her for allegedly violating laws requiring women to wear a headscarf because a bit of her hair was showing. Women and youth have been leading the protests, demanding social freedom and political change, gender equality and the end of the state’s regime.
The government has deployed violent tactics against protestors and have even conducted raids on university campuses and high schools. Crowds have continued to gather in defiance of the authorities even as the government recently pledged harsh punishment for defiers - including executions. Last week, 227 members of Iran’s Parliament pleaded with the judiciary to put all detained protesters to death.
While numbers are difficult to verify due to the lack of independent reporting in Iran, 15,915 protesters have been detained and 351 have been killed since the protests began, according to the latest figures by the Human Rights Activists News Agency, or HRANA.
