☆ Explainer: What has changed in Iran one year since Mahsa Amini protests erupted?
  + stars: | 2023-09-16 | by ( Parisa Hafezi | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
A photo of Mahsa Amini is pictured at a condolence meeting organised by students and activists from Delhi University in support of anti-regime protests in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini, in New Delhi, India, September 26, 2022. Protests began soon after the Sept. 16 death of Kurdish Iranian woman Mahsa Amini, 22, who had been arrested by morality police three days earlier for allegedly violating Iran's mandatory Islamic dress code. But as the protests fizzled they returned to streets and surveillance cameras were installed to identify and penalise unveiled women. Outside Iran, Western countries imposed new sanctions on security forces and on dozens of Iranian officials over the protests, further straining already difficult ties. Journalists, lawyers, activists, students, academics, artists, public figures and family members of killed protesters, especially among ethnic minorities, have been targeted in recent weeks.

☆ Many young Iranians lose their fear in struggle for "freedom"
  + stars: | 2022-11-03 | by ( Parisa Hafezi | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +9 min
Her sentiment was echoed by a dozen young Iranians from across the country interviewed by Reuters by phone. As a young woman, her death sparked anger among Iranians who do not want their daughters arrested because of how they dress. Many young Iranians have long called for the lifting of social restrictions, such as internet censorship and strict dress codes. With student numbers swelling in Iran's young population, such signs of growing dissent cannot be easily ignored by the authorities, a former moderate official said. By defying state warnings to end protests, students have paid a heavy price.

Witnesses in the capital Tehran and the cities of Tabriz and Rasht to the north also reported a heavy presence of security forces in the streets. A witness in Saqez said the cemetery where Amini is buried was filled with members of the volunteer Basij militia and police. Authorities closed all schools and universities in the Kurdistan province on Wednesday "because of a wave of influenza", Iranian state media reported. Videos circulating on social media showed people at Saqez cemetery chanting "Death to Khamenei". Others showed security forces blocking roads leading to the town.
☆ Factbox: Ethnic groups swept up in Iran's nationwide protests
  + stars: | 2022-10-17 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
Critics say these accusations aim to present the protests as ethnic unrest rather than a country-wide uprising, and to justify a crackdown. Rights group Hengaw says it has recorded the deaths of at least 32 civilians killed by government forces during protests. Estimated to number some 10 million, Iranian Kurds are also Sunnis and mostly live in northwestern regions bordering Turkey and Iraq - which also have large Kurdish minorities. Kurdish human rights organisation Hengaw has identified 23 Kurdish people killed in the latest protests. The Revolutionary Guards, which have put down unrest in the Kurdish region for decades, have accused armed Iranian Kurdish dissidents of involvement in the protests.
☆ Khamenei warns Iran is like a 'mighty tree' that cannot be uprooted

"That seedling is a mighty tree now and noone should dare think they can uproot it," he said in remarks shown on state TV. Rights groups say more than 200 people have been killed in the crackdown, including teenage girls. Amnesty International said at least 23 children have been killed by security forces in Iran during the protests. State TV reported at least 26 members of the security forces have been killed. Security forces have also pressed their crackdown this week in Kurdish regions where the Revolutionary Guards have a track record of putting down dissent.
☆ Mahsa Amini Iran protests continue as the public rejects the regime's propaganda
  + stars: | 2022-10-07 | by ( Sharon S. Nazarian | Marjan Keypour Greenblatt | Ph.D. | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +6 min
The people of Iran are in open revolt, this time led by courageous young women protesting the murder of Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish woman who died in the custody of the morality police, and the law requiring they wear hijab. Most significantly, this current uprising over the murder of a Kurdish 22-year-old is being led by the young women of the TikTok generation. Pro-regime chants of “death to America” and “death to Israel” have been a staple of the rhetorical diet fed to the public. To that end, pro-Palestinian sympathy was ingrained in Iran’s propaganda via school textbooks, television programs, sports, cartoons, billboards and more. In 1979, the people of Iran yearned for a democratic revolution; instead, they got an Islamic dictatorship.
