On Wednesday, the Iranian people continued their nationwide uprising for the 55th day, following the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman arrested by morality police in Tehran on September 13 for allegedly violating the country’s strict dress code for women. In response to the event, protests erupted in at least 218 cities. According to People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK) sources, the regime’s forces have killed over 550 people and arrested over 30,000. The names of 375 protesters killed have been released by the MEK.
Merchants and store owners in numerous Kurdish cities renewed their general strike in solidarity with the Iranian people’s nationwide uprising and in protest of the regime’s brutal crackdown throughout the country, particularly against the Baluchi community in Sistan & Baluchestan Province in southeast Iran.
Students demonstrated at several universities, including Tehran’s Pars Higher Education Institute of Art and Architecture, Tehran’s University of Science and Culture, Shiraz’s Aali University, Bojnurd University, and Sanandaj University of Medical Sciences, as well as Isfahan Province’s Najafabad University students and high school students in Ahvaz and Karaj.
