Do not take to the streets! Today is the last day of the riots
he said.
Demonstrations against power have multiplied in recent weeks in Iran, after the death in custody, in mid-September, of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old young woman arrested for wearing a veil deemed illegal.
This protest movement, which has spread to all layers of Iranian society, is considered one of the most serious challenges to theocratic power in Tehran since the Islamic revolution of 1979.
The Ministry of Intelligence and the intelligence service of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards accuse the American, British, Israeli and Saudi intelligence services of orchestrating the unrest to destabilize Iran.
Hossein Salami, who was speaking on Saturday at the funeral of victims of an attack committed this week and claimed by the Islamic State organization, relayed these accusations by addressing the demonstrators directly.
Don’t sell your honor to America and punch the security forces defending you in the face.
did he declare.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards, an elite corps under the direct authority of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, have not been deployed since the protests began on September 16.
According to human rights associations, at least 250 demonstrators were killed and several thousand more were arrested across the country.
Images shared on social media on Friday showed protesters calling for the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and members of the Bassidji militia, a paramilitary organization made up of volunteers who played an important role in suppressing the protests.
Students injured by security forces
L’ONG Hengaw said security forces fired on students at a girls’ school in Saqez, northwestern Iran, on Saturday, as well as students at the Kurdistan Medical University in Sanandaj, chief- place of the province of Kurdistan, also in the northwest.
Several students were injured, including one by a bullet to the head, Hengaw added, information that Reuters could not verify.
According to videos uploaded to social media, protest rallies took place on a dozen campuses in Tehran as well as several universities elsewhere in the country, including those in Kerman, Mashhad, Qazvin, Ahva, Arak and Kermanshah.
At the same time, the trial of 315 demonstrators opened in the Iranian capital, reports the official news agency Irna. At least five defendants are being prosecuted for offenses punishable by death.
