Iran has experienced widespread demonstration following the death of
Mahsa Amini. This protest, which started in opposition to the compulsory
hijab law, eventually grew into a nationwide uprising against the
oppression and tyranny of the Islamic Republic Regime, with distinct
characteristics, including the broad slogan " Woman, Life, Freedom" and
the unique solidarity among people without a centralized leader against
the suppression policies of the regime. The iranian authorities unlawful
use of force including live ammunition and metal pellets against
protesters and bystanders.This has resulted in over 500 killed by
security forces, and thousands more injured.Despite severe security
repression and a high number of deaths and arrests in several Iranian
cities. It is coming closer to victory by the day.
Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, arrested by the Islamic religious police, was
taken to hospital two hours later after losing consciousness. She passed
away on Friday afternoon at Kasra Hospital in northern Tehran.
Originally from Saqqez in Kurdistan province, Amini was arrested in her
brother’s car on a visit to the capital to see their relatives.When she
was arrested by the morality police she told them that she is a stranger
in this city and does not know anyone.Now the world knows her and
everone says her name.
The story of Nika Shakarami's murder is the most painful story I have
ever heard.She, who was only 17 years old, went to protest on the
streets for her basic human rights. The last time her family talked to
her she was running away from the police and then her phone was switched
off. Nika's body was found at a detention center morgue 10 days later,
Her family was only allowed to see her face, for a few seconds, during
identification. Nika was to be buried one day after her 17th birthday,
but polic stole her body and buried it in a village 20 km away.
