These protests began following the death of Mahsa Amini. The 22-year-old woman from the city of Saqqez in Kurdistan Province was brutally beaten by the morality police and died of her wounds in a Tehran hospital on September 16. The event triggered protests and has now spread to at least 213 cities. According to sources from the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the regime’s forces have killed over 480 people and arrested over 25,000. The MEK has released the names of 324 protesters who were killed.
In support of their compatriots protesting the mullahs’ dictatorship, freedom-loving Iranians and MEK supporters have gathered in Europe, the United States, and Canada. Geneva, Vancouver, Washington, Amsterdam, Rome, Vienna, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Ottawa, and Nürnberg have all hosted such gatherings.
Iranian opposition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi praised Iranian university and high school students for their ongoing rallies and gatherings against the mullahs’ regime. “Despite the crackdown and threats, university and high school students from Tehran, Sanandaj, Mashhad, Qazvin, Yazd, Isfahan, Tabriz, and other cities gathered to chant ‘Death to the dictator,’ ‘Freedom,’ and ‘Imprisoned students must be freed.'” “This hurricane will last until victory,” she stated.
