The spontaneous outburst of anger over the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman while being in the custody of Iran바카라s 바카라Morality Police바카라 has barreled into the third week now. And the flames of protests look like they are here to stay.
The protests that were ignited by Mahsa Amini's custodial death in Tehran are now raging across 40 provinces of the nation with over 70 people believed to have been killed in the unrest.
The spontaneous outburst of anger over the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman while being in the custody of Iran바카라s 바카라Morality Police바카라 has barreled into the third week now. And the flames of protests look like they are here to stay.
The guidance patrols or Gasht-e-Ershad, commonly known as the 바카라Morality Police바카라 of Iran, detained Amini on September 13 for flouting the country바카라s dress code for women as she apparently was wearing an 바카라improper head covering바카라.
After enjoying a little leniency in the Hijab rule during the more reformist Hassan Rouhani바카라s regime, women in Iran again were made to abide by stringent restrictions on clothing once the hardliner President Ebrahim Raisi took over the post in 2021.
According to Islamic Republic바카라s present advisory, women are advised to cover up in public by wearing a 바카라hijab바카라 or headscarf that is supposed to completely hide the hair.
Authorities claimed that Mahsa succumbed to death on September 16 owing to a cardiac failure three days after falling into a coma while her family, rejecting the possibility of any underlying medical condition to be the cause of her death, firmly pointed towards custodial brutality and asserted that she was beaten.
바카라She was tortured, according to eyewitnesses바카라, said Amini바카라s cousin Erfan Mortazaei, as per media reports.
바카라She was tortured in the van after her arrest, then tortured at the police station for half an hour, then hit on her head and she collapsed바카라, he added.
The protests that were ignited by her death in Tehran are now raging across 40 provinces of the nation. The unrest is believed to have killed over seventy people so far while countless people got arrested. The authorities have imposed stringent restrictions on internet services and clamped down on protesters. Access to social media platforms and messaging applications has also been curtailed.
Despite strict embargoes on usage of internet in Iran, the social media feeds across the globe are flooded with sporadic videos of women vehemently protesting in solidarity with Amini. From chopping hair to burning hijabs and shouting, 바카라Women, life, freedom바카라- the protest has seen it all.
바카라We want to show them that we don바카라t care about their standards, their definition of beauty or what they think that we should look like,바카라 said 36-year-old Faezeh Afshan, an Iranian chemical engineer living in Bologna, Italy, who was filmed shaving off her hair.
바카라It is to show that we are angry.바카라
According to their cultural practices, cutting off hair is a symbol of both mourning and protesting.
바카라Women cutting their hair is an ancient Persian tradition바카라 when the fury is stronger than the power of the oppressor,바카라 tweeted Wales-based writer and translator Shara Atashi. 바카라The moment we have been waiting for has come. Politics fueled by poetry.바카라
Several videos are getting circulated on social media where women are seen waving their hijabs in the air and chanting, "No to the headscarf, no to the turban, yes to freedom and equality!"
Galvanized by the intensity of the unrest reflective of suppression, inequality and patriarchy, many cut their hair off while being filmed, as a sign of solidarity.
Stemming from the angst triggered by Mahsa Amini바카라s death, the anti-government protest has now taken the shape of a massive outcry against the repressive regime of the 바카라supreme leader바카라 Ayatollah Khamenei. The unrest has given thousands of people a platform to raise their voices against several other pressing issues as well including inflation, unemployment, violation of international laws and sanctions.
Since the very onset of the protest, the theocratic regime of Iran has firmly believed that foreign powers were acting as the impetus behind it with a clear objective of destabilizing the country.
Almost after a fortnight into the nationwide unrest, Iran바카라s 83-year-old 바카라Supreme Leader바카라 Ayatollah Khamenei officially showed reaction and held US and Israel accountable for the entire chaos.
바카라I say clearly that these riots and the insecurity were engineered by America and the occupying, false Zionist regime [Israel], as well as their paid agents, with the help of some traitorous Iranians abroad,바카라 Khamenei was quoted by the BBC as saying.
As per media reports, on September 28, President Ebrahim Raisi said that while Amini바카라s death was saddening for sure, 바카라chaos바카라 would not be accepted.
바카라We all are saddened by this tragic incident. (However) Chaos is unacceptable. The government바카라s red line is our people바카라s security 바카라 One cannot allow people to disturb the peace of society through riots,바카라
While being at the frontline of the massive protest and facing tear gas, bullets and batons, countless activists and journalists have been arrested or detained.
In a bid to counter the mounting dissent and unrest across the nation, several pro-government rallies have taken place in several cities across Iran where marchers openly called for the execution of the anti-government protesters.
바카라Death to America바카라 and 바카라Death to Israel바카라 were the common slogans echoing on the streets while the protesters were labeled as 바카라Soldiers of Israel바카라
Citing the prevalence of foreign influence behind their anti-government maneuvers, the Iranian judiciary has also directed the courts to take tough action on the protesters - a familiar course of action for the Iranian regime to deal with dissent.
