The demonstrations have turned into a popular revolt by furious Iranians from all layers of society, posing one of the worst legitimacy challenges to the clerical leadership since the 1979 revolution. Activists on social media criticised the execution of the 23-year-old Rahnavard as “a criminal act” by the clerical establishment to deter dissent.
State media published a video of a man, which it identified as Rahnavard, stabbing another man who fell against a parked motorcycle and then stabbing another person immediately after and then running away.
