died in hospital in Iran on September 16th after being detained by the morality police for showing too much of her hair. Mahsa Amini’s death ignited protests in more than 100 cities and street protesters openly declare that the Islamic Republic must go. The people of Iran are tired of theocratic tyranny. The movement’s chant is “Women, Life, Freedom.” But the realisation of this slogan will only be possible under a democratic and secular government.
The Islamic Republic has no qualms about targeting those who oppose it as they sit in classrooms or lie in hospital beds. Government agents identify wounded protesters in wards and if medical staff resist such efforts, they are arrested. The authorities have also attacked several high schools where pupils were chanting slogans inside buildings. They burst in and beat pupils. To date more than 300 of them have been arrested. Many were released on bail but some are still being detained.
Lawyers do not have the freedom to defend clients who are tried under political charges. Under Iranian law, only after the interrogation and once the verdict has been issued can the accused choose a lawyer in such cases. The lawyers then sometimes face false accusations themselves which lead to arrest. More than 15 lawyers are imprisoned currently for defending a variety of clients, some await trial and others are serving long sentences.
International action and pressure can help to keep the focus on prisoners the Iranian state would prefer were forgotten. Marches and mass gatherings in New York, Washington, Los Angeles, London, Paris and many others have amplified the voices of those arrested and killed in Iran.
What does that mean ?

The former US president led to the killing of over 5 people in an insurrection, and he is likely to serve no time in jail. Maybe you you can elucidate on the American Legal System... Or T. Blair leading to the murder of millions and wandering around free. Thanks.

Thank you for publishing this. Anyone thinking that people are being hysterical about the plight of those arrested by the regime should read what she says about the ‘rotten’ justice system in Iran. WomanLifeFreedom IranRevolution2022
I hope she is right. Pray for the people in Iran and Middle East.
Can't imagine the Arab ruling caste of Iran giving up their privilege since they conquered the infidel Zoroastrian natives & radicalised them to Islam!
Great job CIA. The Iranians just executed 15,000 little girls. Over religion. Let me help. You all worship a pedophile alien. He raped Mary when she was 12.
There is law under a medieval theocracy?
Nobel Barış Ödülü sahibi The Economist için yazdığı konuk yazısında, protestocuların “Kadın, Yaşam, Özgürlük” sloganının gerçekleşmesinin ancak demokratik ve laik bir hükümet altında mümkün olacağını savunuyor.
