Protesters in Tehran, Iran, in September of 2022 following the death of Mahsa Amini. The Iranian parliament voted strongly in favor of imposing the death penalty for those charged in connection with the protests.
On Tuesday, parliament did just that, voting to impose the death penalty on all protesters in custody as a"hard lesson" for all rebels. The majority in favor of the penalty was considerable, 227 out of the 290 total members, matching the number of lawmakers who signed the letter.The authorities emphasize that the rebels need to be taught the most "hard lesson".It is unclear when the executions will be carried out, but the task will potentially be significant.
In the last 8 weeks Iran’s regime has killed over 300 protestors, imprisoned nearly 15,000, and threatened to execute hundreds more, yet Iran’s women persist. Today female university students removed their forced hejab and chant, “I am a free woman.”
