OVER recent weeks, Iran has been the scene of widespread protests following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of the so-called “morality police” in Tehran.
The country has seen popular protests in all of its 31 provinces, with protesters demanding basic human and democratic rights, as well as social justice. Protests are now into their ninth week, despite the dictatorship’s recourse to brutal violence.
The Iranian regime has been blindsided by the uprising. Despite its heavy-handed tactics and rhetoric casting all protesters as agents of the US, Britain and their regional allies, particularly Israel and Saudi Arabia, the protests rage on.
