PARIS, Jan 22 ― Despite a slackening of street activity in the face of a brutal crackdown, Iranian protesters are still challenging the Islamic regime four months into their movement, observers say.
“With the number of protests diminishing since mid-November 2022, it appears that a stalemate has set in, with neither the regime nor the protesters’ side being able to overwhelm the other,” said Ali Fathollah-Nejad, Iran expert with the American University of Beirut’s Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs.
“Protests have not stopped in the face of the violent crackdown,” said Roya Boroumand, co-founder of the US-based Abdorrahman Boroumand Center rights group.
