Iran Anti-Hijab Protests
During these Anti-Hijab, anti-government protests 50 were killed by security forces, asserted to Oslo-based, Iran’s Human Rights organization. This count is way more than the official 17 which includes 5 security personnel.
This violence on the streets of Iran which has been spread to 80 towns and cities, was sparked by the death of a 22 years old girl, Mahsa Amini. Before death, the girl suffered for three days in a coma after being detained by the Morality Police.
“Verified footage spread on social media showed large crowds of protesters gathering in several neighborhoods of the capital Tehran after dark, just hours after the government-backed rallies dispersed.”
Now Iran has imposed strict restrictions on the use of the Internet to prevent crowd gatherings and stop the flow of content which can spark violent incidents. And to also stop the context from reaching other countries.
