On Tuesday, it was announced that Iranian authorities have charged more than 1,000 people in the Tehran region alone for participating in protests over the past few weeks. Many people have also been arrested in other regions. Mizan describes the protests as “riots”.
The protests started in mid-September after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in a police station. People across the country have since taken to the streets to protest against police brutality and for women’s rights. The police are cracking down on the protesters, who are also calling for the resignation of the authoritarian regime.
LOOK AT. In October, more than a thousand people took to the streets in Brussels to declare their support for the women of Iran.
