Iran was rocked by unrest on Wednesday, as thousands of protesters gathered at a cemetery to mourn Mahsa Amini , the young woman whose death in police custody last month sparked nationwide protests, and gunmen in the south of the country opened fire on a holy site, killing at least 13 people. The gathering at Ms. Amini’s grave in Iran’s restive Kurdistan province took place on the 40th day since her death, a date of remembrance in Islamic tradition, despite warnings from authorities saying they wouldn’t permit processions marking her death. There was no evidence of a link between the protesters and the attack at the holy site.

☆ Iranian Crackdown on Protests Imposes Economic Toll
  + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( Sune Engel Rasmussen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The Iranian government’s crackdown on the weekslong protest movement is taking a growing toll on the country’s sanctions-pummeled economy, hitting a broad swath of ordinary citizens, as authorities’ slowdown of the internet has choked vital payment channels for businesses. So far, Iran’s internet restrictions have cost the IT industry and businesses around $24 billion, according to a member of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Farzin Fardis, cited by the reformist-affiliated news outlet Entekhab. Mr. Fardis also said that over the past month, up to 700,000 shops selling goods through the social-media app Instagram had closed down.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei doubled down Wednesday on his unsupported accusations that the uprising rocking Iran is orchestrated by the country’s foreign enemies, as authorities further tightened internet restrictions to make it harder for protesters to spread information about the violent government crackdown. Meanwhile, strikes by shopkeepers spread to Iran’s second-most populous city, Mashhad, according to social-media posts. The city is a stronghold for the country’s hard-liners, including Mr. Khamenei and President Ebrahim Raisi . Mashhad shopkeepers joined strikes under way in the capital Tehran and other cities across the country.

  + stars: | 2022-10-09 | by ( Sune Engel Rasmussen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Three weeks after antigovernment protests erupted across Iran—sparked by the death of a woman detained for allegedly violating the country’s strict Islamic dress code—the movement has proved more durable than previous challenges to Tehran’s leaders and could pose a continuing threat. Students across the country rallied outside universities on Sunday, chanting slogans including “death to the dictator,” and schoolgirls marched in the streets of Tehran waving their veils in the air, a gesture that has become a central expression of dissent. The governor of Kurdistan province on Sunday ordered universities closed, likely to avoid more protests. Stores across the country stayed closed as part of a widening strike of shopkeepers.
