Pro-government peoples rally against the recent protest gatherings in Iran, after the Friday prayer ceremony in Tehran, Iran September 23, 2022. Iran has been rocked by nationwide demonstrations sparked by the death of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, after she was detained by morality police enforcing the Islamic Republic's strict restrictions on women's dress. Iran said the United States was supporting rioters and seeking to destablise the Islamic Republic. Iran has blamed armed Iranian Kurdish dissidents of involvement in ongoing unrest in the country, particularly in the northwest where most of Iran's up to 10 million Kurds live. A main Iranian teachers union, in a statement posted on social media on Sunday, called for teachers and students to stage the first national strike since the unrest began, on Monday and Wednesday.

☆ Analysis: Iran's leaders are safe but protests raise the stakes over imposing veil
  + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( Michael Georgy | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
"The death of Mahsa Amiri released decades of suppressed energy and will among women to fight back. Under Iran's Islamic Sharia law, imposed after the 1979 revolution, women are obliged to cover their hair and wear long, loose-fitting clothes to conceal their figures. While that defiance is common, the shock over Amini's death and nationwide protests have raised the stakes as Iranian women call for more freedoms. In 2014, rights activist Masih Alinejad started a Facebook campaign "My Stealthy Freedom", where she shared pictures of unveiled Iranian women sent to her. "The protests pose less of a risk to immediate government stability than to its legitimacy and sustainability over the longer term."
☆ Mass protests in Iran, sparked by woman's death in police custody, are the regime's biggest challenge in years

Alleged eyewitnesses say they saw Amini being beaten to death by Iran's feared morality police. Appearing in public as a woman without the head covering is a criminal offense in Iran and carries the consequence of prison time. What this uprising has revealed is the complete illegitimacy of not only the Islamic Republic, but indeed of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, in the eyes of this new generation. Roham AlvandiThe U.S. responded by condemning the Iranian government's actions, and has imposed sanctions on Iran's morality police, who it blames for Amini's death. "Not just has Iran oppressed the women there," she added, "but it has made the world hate us."
