Protests in Iran continue following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini at the hands of so-called morality police.

As we pointed out when the protests started last month, it can be extremely difficult to figure out what’s happening in Iran when the government. But after weeks of protests that have made their way to social media, it’s become clear the demonstrations are very real and widespread.

Raisi said recent protests across the country had been conducted by “rioters” and compared them to flies.. “Unbeknownst to them, our students and professors are alert and will not allow the enemy to realize their evil goals.”
At least 134 people have been killed in the protests, according to Amnesty International, though other human rights organizations have come out with numbers that are certainly higher.“This number is based on information we have received from victims’ families, eyewitnesses, human rights activists and journalists and corroborated through audiovisual and other documentary evidence where possible.
We believe that the real death toll is far higher and are continuing our investigations into the deathsAnd while it’s too soon to declare a color revolution taking place, the Iranian regime must be worried of things getting out of hand very quickly as young people continue to take to the streets.
